Default 6" Fabtech owners?? Need Alignment #

Can anyone with a fabtech lift, and the stock UCA's, post up their actual alignment numbers?

I'm trying to figure out the best way to get the ideal settings on our trucks.

Thanks for the help!

So there are no Fabtech lift with stock UCA's out there?

I need this information for my R&D research to improve handling of our trucks.

There must be someone willing to help out?

I just lowered mine back down to 7" lift. I had it up at 8.5" of lift but my CV Boots lasted about 1 mo. Check out your fins on the inner boot. If they are touching? Start planning to replace them.


I could really use the numbers. I'm close to resolving the alignment deal. But I need more data.

No. What you need to do is when you replace your boots install them further out, so it stretches the fins apart.

Move it out about 1/2"-7/8" and add a drop of super glue so it doesn't slide back. make sure the shaft is clean of oil. This should allow your fins to clear so they don't rub.
