I was wondering if anyone could tell me if they have compared the fabtech Idler and pitman arms with, the new Heavy duty parts from napa. I priced the ones from napa $79 and $89. Napa had a huge blow out with moog and dropped them. They started making their own parts now and they look pretty heavy duty. Has anyone tried them? I think I found a price on the fabtech items but I'm not sure $250 sound right? (read it in another thread, someone please correct if wrong) can't see spending the xtra cash just for a name. Is there someone else making good quality parts? Thanks

i seen both, had both and took napa back and went with fabtech, been happy ever since

At any rate, if you want to put a factory spec. part and aren't hard on the truck, napa's parts a probably fine...For those of us with bigger tires and such, a heavy duty alternative such as fabtechs is probably a better idea..

Sorry! I guess I should have said this is what I heard. Someone told me that, I guess I wont be listening to them anymore! http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/images/smilies/confuzeld.gif Thanks for setting nme straight tho. Would you happen to have the part #'s and price for the fabtech components? Thanks

I'm not sure what fabtech's part numbers are to be honest....Napa numbers I can give you all day long since I manage one http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/images/smilies/wink.gif

I called fabtech for the part numbers. The kit consists of the pitman arm,idler arm and the single stabilizer. Part # FTS71001 Hope this helps anyone else that is looking.

Was the $225 price correct?

Fabtech does not sell directly to the public. You have to buy their product from a vendor. I'm sure there are a few on here they should be able to provide prices.

u mean that they dont sell to the public. i got mine from truckperformance for around 250. but have been waiting for 3 weeks & thats only the pitman & idler

anyone check out kennedys pit/idl braces? also check out cognito motorsports braces. if your parts arnt shot this might be a option. just my 02

After installing new arms, I installed the braces JK sells. Seems like they will help; time will tell.

Straight from the tech's at "Truckfest" (4 wheel Parts show in San Francisco...The new arms from them will ONLY work with a lifted truck and they will reduce your turning radius.
