Anyone have experience with Fat bobs Garage lifts? I'm looking to get a 2" lift from them.

I bought a used set of almost brand new factory lca to replace my worn out ones. Every time i hit the brakes i can feel the front axle shift back and forth.
Easiest way, on te ground with pb blaster and impact gun and a come along. 1-2-3 easy. May not even need the come along since its same size

Default Need size of shaft for new shifter ****...

Found two round, red shifter ***** (w/ shift pattern) that I like for my red 1990 base model but, even though they say they're 'Universal Fit," one of the sellers who has a chart says it won't fit my vehicle. Does anyone know what the millimeter size is of the shaft in my vehicle? I don't have a metric ruler or I'd check myself.

Thanks in advance.

The only product I have bought from Fat Bobs was u-bolts which rusted over QUICK. Hopefully their lift kits are more rust resistant.

I bought a set of coil spacers and RC shackles from them. Good service. No complaints. Don't buy this kind of spacer

Yeah they do. Notice how my bumpstop towers are hacked to ****? I run a 12" circumference softball and three hockey pucks on each side. Works very well. Haven't came down on them hard yet but they do compress a little bit... Can't complain, got them for free lol

I run the 4.1" ones from 4wd hardware and they still don't touch the axle. Need to build strike plates for them
