they're the same as fabtech , I even think the arms are made at the same place . Doestech are silver and fabtechs are blue. What I've read is that the shocks are no good , for the fabtech and for doestech . Also I don't think it comes with balljoints . But they're pretty much the same thing . I have the 3" fabtech with rancho 5000 shocks upfront and the adjustables 4 positions in rear (9000????) I also have a add aleaf in the rear instead of the shacle , wich for me works pretty good , not to stiff and with the adjustables it works good ..............

yes , you need to replace the ball joints . Your old ones are riveted to the a arms , when you replace them you have to grind them out . You can't use your old ones . For that I would go with fabtech kit instead ................

the balljoints I got are trw ????? I had the part # somewhere .......... But moogs are the same . The ride is stiffer than stock , not so plush but very good . Compared to a ford or chevy (lifted) it's excellent and has a nice ride . The back is very good . I have the shocks on # 2 and seems to be the best for me . If i take something real heay I'll set it to #3 ......
