Has anyone installed any of the suspension lifts from Fabtech on a tacoma? I am looking for feedback on them.

what type? just coilovers, upper, lower arms, rear suspension, etc? honestly I'd only lift one 2-3" and I'd use donahoe or total chaos or all-pro components. unless you were SAS'ing it.

It depends. I am looking to get about 3" to 4" of suspension lift and need to start looking for deals on parts. I have not lifted a vehicle before, so I have some more research to do. SAS would be nice, but I don't have the time or the money for that now, as there is no way I will pay someone to do it for me.

i've always been pleased with the pro-comp kits on most trucks, a taco is one of the few i havent done though

fabtech makes nice stuff, i've installed a few of their kits on various vehicles.

^ as long as you dont use their shocks, they may be better now, but 2-3 years ago the fabtech shocks blew out like crazy, otherwise they are a solid kit, but involve a little more cutting/welding then other kits, which is why they are more solid

most basic shocks from all the lift companies are actually commonly manufactured. there was a problem from everyone a while back due to that. probably the same incedent you're talking about. i'd be surprised if fabtech was any different, so i wouldn't really count that against them. unless it was a higher end line that they themselves had a claim to.

Got Fabtech spindles and shocks for my Ram, no problems with'em going on 5 years now.

Yea, I have been looking there and talking to some people, I am just also interested in talking to someone around here who may have worked with this truck

I never really looked into the Fabtech lifts, so I can't help you there. Mine was a Toytec kit, with spacers in the front and shackles in the rear. Also a 2" body lift. Also check out http://www.ncttora.com for local members of the national forum.

How long have you had the spacers in the front? I have read mixed reviews about them...

1/24/2007 3:05:08 PM
