I don't know where that guy is getting those ... maybe they bought all the remaining Fabtech stock and are just bleeding it off slowly.
Nothing about the "pre-Taco" trucks at all on the Fabtech website...

I have noticed that, I think they still make it but unlike other suspension manufacturers, fabtech seems to have turned its lifts marketing in the direction of people interested in it for show and not as much function. THat is why i think most of the lifts they show on their site is for newer trucks that people are going to turn into show trucks or don't go off road that much and just want the look. I believe they make good stuff and that is very well built, but they aren't showing the stuff for the older trucks. just my humble opinion

I couldn't tell you how many times I have jumped my truck with that kit and never broke a thing. Before I got the kit I would jump the truck with the stock arms with a little crank of the t-bars. Well needless to say I bent the crap out of the lower arms. Fabtech now I really don't know. I bought my kit back in 97 when it first came out. The only real beef I had with Fabtech was piss-poor customer support and the shocks that came with the kit were generic off the shelf brand, other than that the kit is solid. Here is a pic of me jumping it.

In this pic I had the fabtech upper arms, sway away torsions, and bilstein shocks. I really beat the hell out of it. My buddy has the full fabtech kit. I installed it for him and I thought it was pretty nice. His truck cycles about 12-13 inches of wheel travel.
