I believe the Bulletproof kits are the only kits where you don't have to hack up the front diff and frame.

I have a Fabtech 6" with 40" tires and love it! As far as hacking up the diff...yes you have to cut the mounting ear off but once you lift your truck your never gonna want it back to original unless to sell your truck....I'm guessing removing a lift will be as big of a pita as installing one....I know several people with Fabtech lifts...most with a lot of experience wheeling & tons of knowledge on best lift for a H2...I took thier advice and am glad I did...

Just for more info:


Bulletproof is entirely bolt on and completely reversible if you decide to get rid of your rig. That's the main reason they are who I will go with when the day comes to lift mine if I go that tall. They also have a transferable lifetime warranty on all their parts.

If you are going with 40's, I would think you would at need at least a 6" lift.

I'd go with the bulletproof. I have a long history with replacing parts on trucks with fabtech lift kits. Not trying to dis anyone here but we have a saying here at the shop. if its got a fabtech kit, its gonna need parts before we can align it. Its not really a fair saying seeing as how we cant force people to actually take care of their vehicles before they come to us. I'm sure some of the problems are from the morons at off road unlimited down the street from us who install the kits. Last week had one with the ball joints falling out on a brand new truck...the upper arms were installed upside down as well. so hard to tell if its fabtechs fault.
