Construction & Design:

Fabtech’s Basic 6in Suspension System is crafted from high-strength materials to withstand the rigors of off-road driving. The design process integrates advanced computer-aided engineering and precision fabrication techniques, resulting in components that offer both strength and reliability. Each part is meticulously engineered to maintain proper suspension geometry and vehicle handling characteristics after lift installation.

The system’s components are finished to resist corrosion and wear, ensuring long-lasting performance. Fabtech’s experienced engineers and fabricators have optimized the design to provide a smooth ride quality while delivering the aggressive stance and clearance desired by off-road enthusiasts.

Installation & Fitment:

This suspension system is designed for direct fitment on Dodge Ram 1500 models from 2009 to 2010 and Ram 1500 models from 2011, including Laramie, SLT, Sport, ST, TRX4, Big Horn, and Laramie Longhorn trims. Installation requires minor trimming of the wheel wells to accommodate larger tires and wheels. It is important to use aftermarket wheels sized 18 inches or larger to ensure proper fitment and performance.

Due to the lift and suspension modifications, OEM wheels and tires cannot be used with this system. Additionally, the rear springs may reduce the vehicle’s load carrying capacity, so users should consider their payload requirements before installation. Professional installation is recommended to ensure safety and optimal performance.
