Fabtech 6” and uniball uca

[Trey Hardy]

Just picked up this killer deal on a powder coated fabtech lift. Comes with uniball UCA had less then 20k miles on the kit As it was on a 2018.
If im not mistaken and from looking at my dads 15 and my 07 the suspension is identical so I’ll probably replace my rough country lift to finish off my build. However im curious to know if it’ll work on my 07 Tahoe as well beings it has the aluminum control arms vs steel. If anyone can chime in shoot me your thoughts please before I rip apart 2 vehicles for no reason lol.
From what I’ve come across the front suspension is the same from 07-18
Yes i know I’ll have to get a rear lift to use it with the Tahoe as long as one of the two lifts will fit on it I’ll lift it as well vs selling the RC kit

i recall, in most cases...the ARM ISSUE is at the ball joint, not the mounting at the frame. i recall seeing a list that indicates what years had which, with ball joint sizes.

the knuckle may be able to have a slight reaming if your joints are larger, but my guess would be the aluminum arm will have smaller joints.

i DO NOT RECOMMEND a dremel to ream....if needed get an actual tapered ream ! do it correctly.

@Trey Hardy @STORMIN08 Since the kit has its own knuckles I don't think that will be a problem so as long as what you guys said is true about the body side mounting being the same then you should be in good shape as far as the uniball and knuckle are concerned.

i dont think that is correct...the ARM MATERIAL indicates which ball joint size the vehicle has...

if you have steel arm knuckles with alum arms...the joint size could be wrong...or vise versa you need to look up the specifics of the ball joint stud size.

@STORMIN08 It doesn't matter if he has steel or aluminum arms because he will be using the control arm and knuckle from the kit he bought. Is there something I'm missing?

Main concern really was the lca and ball joint mounting but I think it should be fine. Kind of a pieces together kit beings the coil overs are off a at4 gmc and lift is off a 18 Silverado going on a 07 Tahoe.
For the rear lift I’m just going to throw some 2-3” pucks with moogs heavy duty 2” coil spring 6 in the front 4-5 in the rear
