I emailed Fabtech and they responded within 2 hours!
"The 4.5 inch comes with a 2 inch block in the rear to help level
off, and the dirt Logic shock carry a year manufacture defect warranty. After that the shocks can always to re built."
Good to know, since I was planning on buying some 2" rear blocks, because I thought the kit came with small lift blocks.
Now, I wonder if I should just install and see how the 2" blocks look or have some 3" blocks ready to install, incase the truck sits too nose high.

Dont let the front fenders throw you off as the curve of the front fender runs higher than the rear fender, giving the impression that you are lower in the back but it is actually higher in the back.
Another thing to consider is the size of the U bolts.
When I went from 1 blocks to the taller 2 blocks I had to change the U bolts as they were not long enough. Fabtech originally sent me the kit with the shorter u bolts because I requested 1 blocks.
So if you go with the 4.5front 2 rear kit and then you change the blocks to 3, chances are you may need new U bolts.
Hope this helps and please post pics when done.

Does the Fabtech kit come with extended sway bar end links or sway bar mount drop blocks?
I think since my truck has a PSC steering gear brace, that I will need extended sway bar end links......

Rear rides as as soft as the front springs, when pushing the rear bumper down it flexes softly and nicely. The back shocks have a "real job" now

[QUOTE=06CTDforAU;2217179]Not sure about the 4.5" kit but the 6" kit comes with a very nice set of replacement end links; not drop blocks or link extensions. Here is a pic of mine......
Hey 06CTDforAU, that looks good. My kit brackets 4.5" lift:

Those do look nice, but are they adjustable?
Since I have a PSC steering gear brace, I will need extended sway bar end links and will not be able to use the drop blocks that come with the
4.5" kit......
KORE and Carli makes nice units, but they are not suggested to be used with kits over 3" tall.
Thuren makes a very nice set for 4"-6" lift kits, that I may as well just order to match my Thuren track bar.....
