Fabtech 3" lift on sas two door

[Brandon113]

So after all my researching and calling places I found a kit I almost paid off from fab tech that's the adjustable 3-4 inch lift. Comes with UCAs and rear trailing links and remote resivours.... So my question is they only recommend a 35 has anyone done any trimming or exploring to put at least 37s on this kit? Any recommendations

You shouldn't have to trim anything running 35s. That being said, 3" - 4" of lift is a fair amount...I'd consider a front diff drop to keep CV angles closer to stock.

EDIT: Not sure if I understood your question. If you want to run 37s many have done the high clearance kit (removes the crash bar brackets from the frame)

Well it currently has 35s from the stock sasquatch but If it works I was curious about getting slightly bigger and going to 37s

10-4. Many run 37s with less lift. Unless you do the high clearance kit (I forget the brand) you'll have some rubbing on the crash bar brackets up front at full stuff, full lock and possibly slight rubbing the rear fender liners up back at full stuff.

Is that lift 3-4" above Sas stock lift, that would be a lot? If it's 3-4" over base then it should be ok. I went up around 2" up front over Sas (which would be 3" over base) and 1" in the rear when I switched to 37's. If you have stock Sas wheels, 37's might rub on the inside without wheel spacers. If you have aftermarket wheels in the +25 to -6 offset range then you should be fine.

So it says for says it's a 3" lift 4 for base so I should look into different wheels to make sure there's no rubbing basically?

Actually after watching some videos on the crash bars it looks like mine were already taken out at some point

IMO you should look for a lift designed for your 1st Edition (Sasquatch). 3" - 4" of lift on a base would require the upgraded UCAs and rear trailing arms they are trying to sell you. 2" over Squatch won't require a diff drop or the rear trailing arms and many have stuck with the OEM UCAs.

As for wheels, +25 offset or less will be fine.

Firts Edition and any Sasquatch didn't some with crash bars. It's the crash bar mounts that get removed (cut off the frame).

So is it bad the kit come with the fabtech UCAs and rear trailing arms I told them my model bronco and desired lift range

I had a Fabtech setup on my Badlands. I ran Discoverers SST Pro 37s. No rubbing. Worked very well and had a good ride on the street.

No, it's not bad but probably not needed...at least the rear trailing arms. What is your use case? Are you just going for looks or will you wheel it?

EDIT: I'm curious...on the rear trailing links, are they providing both the lower and uppers?

I abuse the F* outta this thing as is already full sends monthly off roading I drive I barely drive it unless it's going to the dirt honestly it stresses my girl out how hard I drive it off road

As far as the links it looks like it's only the lower links

Lol. Probably worth both the UCAs and rear links. I'm running the rear lowers, the OEMs are pretty light duty.
