fabtech, procomp, rancho which one and why?

Okay, let me start out by saying that i'm ignorant when it comes to suspension lifts. With that being said, I will be lifting my 2005 crew cab 4X4 4-6". I want to put a 35X12.50 on an 18x10" wheel. I will not be doing any type of serious offroading and i tow 19' bass boat. I can find all three of these kits for about $1500. Which one would you choose and why. I leaning toward the rancho but then again i'm not the sharpest tool in the shed. So?????????

Don't forget to speak to me like you would a 5 year old.

Thanks,

One more question.... I bought the truck used and i'm trying to figure out which gears i have. Were 3.73 ls gears standard?

They are all good, but the Fabtech is a little higher quality.

I have been wondering the same thing, but I personaly decided to go with pro comp stage two lift. The reason I decided to go with pro comp stage2 is because it replace the coilover and it has adjustable shock, but it's also 600 dollars more. But that to me is worth it.

I would go with the 6" inch fabtech lift...its got the better quality.With that lift u can get the clearance for the size tires and wheels that you want..and u get a true 6 inches of lift unlike other brands

The Fabtech and Rancho both come with replacement coilover shocks. The Fabtech also give the option of adding their Dirt Logic coilovers.

I agree with wandell about the quality of the kits. You really have to see them 1st hand to "see" and "feel" the difference.
