Hi, I was wondering if there is anyone out there with a 2WD chevy silverado with a 4" fabtech lift.

My problem is that since the lift I can never get the wheels aligned properly. I told fabtech about it but they dont seem to care much about my problem. Even if it is aligned it will only be that way for a little while.

The kit came with lift spindles, lift blocks (rear) front and rear shocks, and all the hardware.

Spend time to find why the alignment is lost in short order. Do you have a dropped idler arm, and pitman too, or?

Well I am trying different things to fix this problem. I found out that one of my upper control arms were bent so I repaced both of them with arms from a 2500 (much stronger) and replaced the bushings.

Now with all that stuff on it looks much better even when not properly aligned. Hopefully my problems might be fixed.. I find out if it realy works when I get it aligned tomorrow...

As for the droped pitman arm they are still stock the lift did not require for any of those parts to be changed because all the lift is from the spindle.

Does anyone know of a place to buy heavyduty ball joints and bushings.
Because where I live my truck gets a beating. And I keep wearing my ones out. I have the "MOOG" brand balljoints..

I stand corrected about the dropped parts, thanks.

MOOG "Problem Solver" parts are real heavy duty and can be bought from major parts/race suppliers. Try http://www.summitracing.com/

There are real heavy tierods and ends in aftermarket. http://bulletproofsteering.com/gmifstierod.html

Good luck.........
