6" lift available NOW!

I was in Desert Rat offroad pricing winches today and they showed me the price sheet for the new 6" lift available NOW for installation or carry out (ship) for the FJ Cruiser. I think it was a FabTech and it is only listed in the stores on a zeroxed memo (not in the catalog, computer, or on line yet).

Prices started at 2100 and went up to 2900 installed!!!!

Looked like a well engineered system with diff drop, drop spindles, and a whole lotta other goodies.

I hope you guys don't ask me a whole lotta details because I was looking for a winch and didn't really pay much attention to a lift I would never buy, but the finished product had 35" tires on it and looked MONSTER high!

The number is listed on thier site if you want to call them.

Re: 6" lift available NOW!

Sonic dun nid no stinkin' winches. Sonic will never get stuck. Sonic can plane off in water. Now, with a 6" lift, Sonic could begin to get into some serious jumping. Sonic wants the lift.

I don't think Sonic will be seeing the paid for side of a 6" lift in my lifetime. If someone wants to sponsor me, I am all ears.

The "Great Pumpkin" and I fall under that same category. How about we start our own trail team?

It is the FabTech lift. I posted about it in the Lifts greater than 3" thread. Central 4wd sells it.Truck Accessories and Jeep Accessories By Central 4 Wheel Drive - Fabtech 6" Performace Lift System W/Rear Performance Shocks for Toyota FJ Cruiser

Re: 6" lift available NOW!

How much longevity can we expect with a lift this high? How will it even ride in day to day commuting?

Re: 6" lift available NOW!

With a lift this high will it greatly ruin the rock climbing offroading aspect?
