Who made the kits? Both the suspension & body? How did the alignment, etc. go? I have a 2000 QC 4x4 and looking to lift a little.

I'm assuming it's the fabtech lift from looking at the link on the page and the pics of the front of the truck. that would mean it's 2 wheel drive only.
maybe I need to stop procrastinating and get my 3 inch body lift.

You can.. you have to go threw the Dealer though. Usually people don't like going to them because the dealer will tell you they won't do any work on it because you modified it.

I thought I remember CW stating that the computers the use for flashing are not "programmable" but use factory default settings. This is what I was told by my friend who is a DC mechanic also. It would be nice to know the truth, because if it can be done I will be making an appointment to kick my friends ass for wasting $200 on the TruSpeed Unit.

I think its unacceptable that they did your alignment as best they could and it pulls to the right. Your tires probably will not wear evenly.
Is this because of the fabtech lift? Or the body + suspension?

langheimer .. you have to remember that when you do a suspension lift you change all your geometry. If the lift isn't installed EXACTALLY like down to 1/8" alignment correct then you probably won't be able to get it aligned correctly.

the reprogramming is bull . Everyone and their mother tried and couldn't be done , only for stock tires .................Now Knobby , on the 2wd the way you do the alignment is you move the a arms toward the engine or towards the outside , the arm doesn't need to be perfect , and plus you have the adjustment to play to get to what you need .............Mine is perfect doesn't pull at all very happy , wish we could get spindles ..........
