Fabtech 6" Coil overs and and stock 22's, a Shi**y surprise!

[Vettethret]

We load my Bullmastiff & St Bernard up every year and do road trips from CA to CO for snow. My Bullmastiff has had cancer the last year so this was going to be his last road trip. I lost him to a heart attack last Monday morning so its already been a real shi**y week! Being that the trip was pre paid 5 months ago I can't cancel now. I dropped my rig off today for a large build, including Fabtech 6" Coil Overs and 38's. I was told that there are NO LIFTS that will fit trucks that come with the factory 22" wheels since they have an HD hub, so my build is not going to happen! Does anyone know of any other lifts available that will work with trucks that come with 22" wheels stock? Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

Rough Country has the option for the 22XL which is made for trucks with the 22s and the heavy wheel bearings. I can't imagine what would be different, seeing as you are not changing the wheel hub. My only guess would be the new front spindles have a bigger hole if you have the 22s.. Did the shop happen to mention what exactly wouldn't fit. Rough Country always seems to be first to get this stuff to the market, but with theirs out I would imagine it won't be long for other companies.

Sorry for your loss.

You're switching wheels, right? Could probably buy a set of standard hubs and swap. Would need to check that the CV splines, IWE, and rotor bore are the same.

If the hub bolt pattern is the same, and just the bore is bigger, you may be able to get them machined out.

Thanks Gator, been a hard week. I do have 20x12's (-44 Offset) and 38x15.5x20's going on it. They were going to call their dealership to see if what you suggested is possible and what the cost would be I have literally done 20+ of these builds over the years and have never run into this. I wanted to make sure the guys that have the stock 22's and were planning on lifting knew this would be an issue.

I was there when they called Fabtech. If you look on Fabtechs site, it says it as well (I missed it when ordering myself).

Nothing worse for me, specially since we were going on one last trip! CST keeps pushing out their release date and still doesn't have one in sight. They have told me 2 weeks for the last 1.5 months. If I cant lift this thing in the near future, I'll go get an 2018 Power Wagon, cant drive anything stock!

When I initially saw that on their website, I didn't really pay attention to it. I was thinking you would have to have 22's AND the heavy duty wheel bearing option. Looked at my sticker didn't see any HD suspension options. End of the day its my fault. I have done enough of these builds to know to check on the little details.
