FABTECH 2001-10 GM C/K2500HD / C/K3500HD-6″ RTS® SYSTEM W/ SHOCKS

PRODUCT OVERVIEW

DESCRIPTION

The all new RTS® (Raised Torsion Suspension) system utilizes patent pending torsion bar brackets that keep the torsion bars raised up, in the stock location. This feature provides superior ground clearance at the frame as there is no torsion bars hanging down to become high centered on or damaged when offroading.

The RTS® system has been designed with unitized bracketry reducing the installation time and providing increased strength. Our signature high arched crossmembers are constructed of 1/4” thick steel and feature tubular cross braces with a 1/4” thick steel front differential skid plate. The construction of the crossmembers, using 1/4” thick steel, is an important part of this system. Only 1/4” thick steel provides the rigidity and strength necessary to relocate the torsion bars, bump stops and lower control arms properly.

Fabtech has performed rigorous on and offroad testing of this new RTS® system to establish the proper bump stop engagement, torsion bar location and shock valving for a superior performing suspension system. This industry leading system rewrites how an IFS suspension system should function for ultimate offroad use with great highway manners.

All Stealth shock absorbers feature Nitrocarburized piston rods that are superior to chromed rods in durability and corrosion resistance. These Nitrocarb piston rods are finished in matte black for a complete black out shock package.

• 50mm OD Seamless Steel Body
• 46mm High Flow Piston for best ride
• Vehicle specific valving designed for oversized tires
• Full floating piston separates gas from oil for a consistent ride

DIRT LOGIC 2.25 SHOCK

Dirt Logic 2.25’s are designed to replace factory shocks with a larger, more robust configuration. The 2.25 size is what separates it from other replacement take apart shocks for a superior ride, both on and off road. Shocks are pretuned for each Fabtech suspension, accounting for larger tires, providing the finest all around damping.
