if you want a 6" go with the fabtech..... and if you want a 8" the rize sense your not interested in offroading. both kits are great and at a great price for what they come with.

If looks is all you're going for then go with the basic 6" Fabtech kit. That's the kit I have on my truck and it looks great. Last time I looked 4wheelonline had it for under $1400, which was the best price I could find it for. Make sure though you either go with 5" blocks or an AAL for the rear because the Fabtech kit only comes with 2" blocks and with those you'll be left sagging in back. I have the 5" blocks on my truck and the stance looks perfectly level.

The 4x4 kit comes with 5" block and the 4x2 kit comes with the 2" block.

Thanks for the responses. My truck is 2 wheel drive so the 2" blocks would make it level correct.

Was not aware of this. Would almost think it would be the other way around since the 4WD trucks already have a 2" block. Not sure though why even the 2WD kits only come with 2" blocks since it leaves the rear end sitting lower.

It's because you're supposed to take the factory block out which gives you 3" of lift for the rear over stock while the 4x2 has no block in it so it gets the 2"
