An update on my thoughts:
My wife and I really enjoy the fox shocks and C-Fab combination. The shock angle returned to the factory angle makes a big difference. After the C-Fab install my wife asked if I had replaced the shocks again. At Ride Royal Blue the ride quality was greatly improved. Most notable is that we were able to take higher speeds with less banging around in our seat. The low and slow felt like you were stepping through the terrain rather than falling into it.
My only regret:
I am not sure if I will regret it or not tho
Quick story: on my original highlifter arms I had new OE ball joints installed. I did not have the arms for more than 1500 miles. The lower ball joints are GONE. You can lift up and down on the threaded end with large amounts of play in the socket area. The upper ball joints had excessive play. When I purchased the C-Fab arms I had an opportunity to acquire a black Friday sale on the keller ball joints. I emailed C-Fab and asked his recommendations. He said the OE ball joints do great and he wouldn't hesitate to use them and save the money for another mod. At that time I had no idea about the condition of the highlifter ball joints. I did not learn about my ball joint condition until I replaced the arms. My hopeful side of me says the highlifter ball joints were placed at a severe angle due to the bracket lift. So the new C-Fab arms do not use the same angle on the ball joints. I am hoping that means I should not have issues with my new ball joints.
