5 inch lift for 97-03?

Hey guys I have been debating lifts for a long time. The best deals I have found are on National Wheel and Tire. They have 2 kits under their Suspension special section. One is a 6" kit, which I am almost certain is the Fabtech kit, but they just don't list it as one. I am just curious as to what this 5" kit might be on here? I am not quite sure. Comes with Bilstein shocks.

Yeah it does appear as though it is an RCD, but maybe with slightly different shocks compared to the one they actualy list as RCD. Man decisions, decisions. I will probably end up with a Fabtech though.

RCD with the Bilsteins is the way to go on '97-'03...I went Rancho and wish I had done otherwise. Actually, the only reason I'm dissapointed with the Rancho 4" for the '97-'03 trucks is that the lift barely gave me a true full 4" of lift, and that was after cranking the torsion bars to get the last bit. Fit, fabrication, and quality of the lift were top notch though.
