IMO, the Full Traction Coilover Conversion for the 99-04 trucks is a much better product.
The 4-link is adjustable on the Full Traction, and it has much better suspension geometry to it (mainly the instant center on it vs. the Fabtech).
The Full Traction with a properly setup Coilover will ride and perform very well.

I love the ride with my Donahoe Racing (now Icon Vehicle Dynamics) leaf springs. They are either a 10 or 11 leaf pack and ride like butter with Bilstein shocks. You'd save a lot of coin sticking with leaf springs as well.

I don't really offroad the truck but i do drive it to work and it can get pretty nasty back in the bush. I do put alot of miles in on log haul roads, oil company roads that can have some huge holes in them. I want to increase wheel travel, improve ride, while increasing ground clearance. I want the coil overs just because I think they are cool, no other reason. i will take a look at the Donahoe racing kit as I do work for my money like everybody else.

Yep, the Icon is definitely the best riding leaf spring setup you can get. Lifetime warranty and made in the USA.

I sure do like the look of the full traction kit. I don't think $2500 is unreasonable. Now all I have to is stay in the bush for a while to get the cash to do this. i also have to sell the idea to my wife, we don't need a new house.

Keep in mind with the Full Traction you need to hit the "Configure" button to add the rear suspension and front coilovers to the kit.
The coilovers do give you the cool factor.
I think you'd also be happy with the Icon leaf spring setup. Really can't go wrong either way.
