Gary, i know you installed the fabtech lift spindles just like i did, did your new caliper line tab not fit correctly on the caliper? also, did you re-route the line to fit the new tab or something else? any help would be appreciated, thanks.

those bolt on brackets fit fine, but i haven't rebent the line yet...there's a picture in the instructions of how to bend it to make it fit, but i haven't done it yet....
did you buy them straight from fabtech? they called me yesterday and said there was a recall on the bolts that hold the steering arm to the spindle. if you wanna wait, they'll do the labor for you, or you can just cruise down and get the new bolts from them. basically, they'll swap 'em out for slightly longer bolts. apparently the original bolts supplied were the wrong ones.

hmm, i used the factory steering arm bolts to connect them to the spindle, it said to do that in the instructions......the only thing that i haven't done so far is finish up the brake work, so every bolt the kit came with is on the truck and fit ok, wonder why.
Bending the line is not fun....and i had to longate the holes on the new caliper bracket because they didn't fit right.
also, i bought my kit through 4 wheel parts.
