The c fab is 3 inch lift and 2 inch forward rake and the latter is a 3 inch lift with 1.5 inch rake. You will have to add the “snap rings” to the ball joints yourself if you choose to let them press new ball joints in. I let them do it because i wanted a new set in the arms. I actually requested they include new snap rings for the new ball joints along with new castle nuts but their was no reply and they did not include them. There isn’t any kind of tabs for brake lines which i though was odd, like others have stated, using heavy duty zip ties will suffice. I recently ordered my kit and there are still no grease fittings but there’s also isn’t grease fittings on the factory arms. I haven’t run mine yet due to waiting on 2 inch wheel spacers, the wheels i ended up with have a +13mm offset which puts the wheel too close. So as of now I’ll be trying to run with the factory axles/shafts. Here’s a pic of the rear shaft angle

Well had to have spacer that sucks, I think you will like having the extra width.

So many of you said with the pre installed ball joints they don’t use the clips,,, It’s an expensive upgrade, why don’t they do it right???

Can any of you tell me what your overall height is after this lift? I’m looking at the cfab with 30” tires but want to be sure i can fit in my 7ft garage. I have about 82-83” of height to play with.

What’s the total width of your machine with everything on it?

Not sure if it's addressed in the other post yet, but what has been your experience with squeaky heim joints? I just ordered my C-Fab kit now I'm reading this and it's making me nervous. I'm in a constant battle to quiet squeaks on my Pioneer, and I really don't want to add another source...

How do you mean to clean? Like hitting them with the power washer and some lube?

I hope you don't mean "taking them apart..."
