Unhappy Fabtech 6-inch lift reversal
Would it be possible to reverse a Fabtech 6" lift? I'd like to still rock the 35" BFGs, but I've had quite a few issues post-lift. Any recommendations aside from a SAS? 2016 TE with 66K miles. It's only been on dirt trails and on the beach at OBX.

Also, feel free to point fingers and laugh. I deserve it.

I had read through the install before and all of it would be reversible except cutting the front subframe.

You may need to reweld or replace the subframe to make it strong enough again to be fine since you won't have the fabtech cross beam installed anymore.

I was just thinking the same thing. Is there a lift I can put on it after I take the Fabtech off that will let me keep the same 35" tires?

Any 3" lift would work but you will need to do BMC, pinch weld mod and cut front fenders/trim front bumper.

Just curious, what issues have you had post-lift?

Looks pretty cool imo

your wheel offset will make the 35's harder to clear. expect lots of trimming to clear 35's at full bump and no rubbing.
