6" Fabtech or Procomp?

I'm ready to get my truck lifted but after looking into both of these systems I'm just not sure which way to go. Fabtech would have dirt logics and Procomp would use the fox shocks. What do you guys think is the better system?

both great product, both reputable companies. You won't be disappointed either way. Flip a coin.

Fox is a lot better than dirt logic.

True, and the fox shocks can be used on the Fabtech lift too.

Fabtech is pretty overpriced in my opinion.

Hey. I went with the Fabtech 6" 4link setup. I had a procomp lift on my 04' F150, then went with a radius arm 8" Fabtech lift on my 2015 250. So far, this setup is the best I've had. The ride is amazing. The bumper was also moved forward 2 inches to clear the larger tires and wheels. I went with 38" Nittos. If you have any questions let me know.

Killer looking trucks!! What shocks are you guys running with the Fabtech kits? I would either get dirt logics or fox.

Ok I'm sold on a 6" lift. Was trying to decide on a 4" or 6" and after seeing these trucks I want a 6".

Have had both

I have had both and the ride quality on the fabtech 4 link is awesome. Have fox shocks and the ride is smooth.

Hey Johnny Thompson, what wheel size are you running? I got some AF 22 x 12's and still waiting for the delivery of my Fabtech 6 inch Dirt Logic 4.0 Coilover Kit. Got 38 inch Nittos like yours, did you have to move that bumper forward? Can you just trim and get away with or moving bumper was a must? Any chance 40's can fit under there?
