Fabtech with dirt logic shocks

Am i correct in saying that the difference between the basic 1400$ fabtech kit, and the one that comes with the dirt logic shocks, is just the cost of the shocks?
I was looking at getting the basic fabtech kit for 1400, then some fab 5" blocks for rear, and daystar 2" spacers for front. (im told that will make me pretty level)
but then I saw someone post that they may be able ot get the next fabtech kit up for 16??$ and it came with the dirtlogic shocks. Am i right is saying that it is the dirtlogics that are adjustable and I will not need the 2 inch front spacers because I can crank them up the 2" to get it level?

Thanks again for your opinions and help guys.

Thanks Russ....I am right about being able to crank up the DL coil overs right?

Anyone have an pics of their fabtech with DL and a 5" block in rear...Sounds like the best way to go I think. Cant really afford the Rize 8" and would like the 8" look a little cheaper. I only want to go with 35' due to not wanting to regear, but do want to be a little taller than all the other trucks here with just 6".

Josh at Sportztrailers has a deal on the fabtech with coilover setup I believe. And you can crank the coilovers for around 2" of lift(maybe more or less). Depending on what look you want, when you crank those coilover's your rear is gonna sag and might need to add an AAL on top of the 5" block.

Go with the basic 6" Fabtech with the 2" autosprings leveling kit. With a 5" block it'll be pretty close but may need a inch or 1 1/2 AAL. You should be able to fit a bigger tire if you want.........

Now if you want the coilovers call josh at sportztrailer, he'll hook you up.

Why would you pay for the leveling kit when you can get the DL's that will have the same affect, for less than what it would cost to get the AS on top of the basic fabtech kit?

I agree Jditta. If you can get the dirtlogic coil over kit for the same price as the basic kit and spacer then go that route.......for some reason I was thinking he already had the 2" spacer........my bad.

I only say that because someone said the kit with the DL's coilovers was only like 16 dollars more.

do yu have a 4x4? if so then the 5" block comes with the fabtech kit itself already, you dont have to order it seperately anymore. You will need to order a 2" AAL for the rear to lvl it out though.

I know i just went through the whole ordeal :P
