Fabtech is better quality. You will probably like it more. Remember you get what you pay for.

Yes fabtech has blocks. But you can get leaf springs instead. They are way more expensive and are stiffer than what it would be if you just used blocks. If you like the way the truck drives now I would suggest you use blocks.

Whatever you do do not I repeat do not go with Pro comp, well unless you only plan to drive it to the office and/or the mall. If you plan on four wheeling the pro comp is not for you, I am replacing mine the as we speak with the Rize lift but 8 inches the lift itself is bullet proof.
