Fabtech- Basic or Performance?

Own a 2000 Superduty, 2wd....i think i have narrowed my lift choice down to either fabtech or Pro-comp. Pro-comp only offers one lift, so no questions there..but when it comes to fabect they offer both a basic and performance. Any experince with either?? Benifts of one over the other?? Pro-comp or fabtech??
I dont really do much offroading...i just really like the look of a lifted Superduty!

I have an 8" procomp lift and have no complaints. It is a stiff ride, but I've had no problems with it. It doesn't squeek, unlike alot of lifts I have heard. I have heard of Fabtech lifts breaking, sagging, and having other problems.

I'd suggest Procomp

Flynford,

The Fabtech is a better kit IMO. The performance kit includes longer radius arms which eliminates the need for drop radius arm brackets.
