I'm running the fabtech 6" with 325X65XR20s and I like the look of it ! I have the dirt logic coils and the front rides GOOD but the back likes to bounce around a lot ! I have 373s on it now but when I get a couple dollars I'm regearin for sure.....gas SUCKS and just seems to be missing something and I'm leanin towards gear

33" over 275 is very little difference.. you can level it and run 33" tires or 285 and it will look good.

When towing your bassboat your frontend shouldn't sit that high, so it shouldn't be a problem unless it bothers you. I towed a 21ft Bassboat with a 225 on the back with my truck stock and it didn't sag much at all if any and I wasn't leveled. Frontend was still a little "rack".. Never towed the boat with my leveling kit though.

Mine didn't come painted blue. It's all black. It rides terrific for a big truck on 35's...I can't comment on Rough Country though, never had one of their kits.

Fabtech is good stuff!

I couldn't say on that. Like I said I have never owned a rough country product. It may be the same. I will say though, that based on my experience with Fabtech, I would highly recomend it. They make a good quality product. I love mine.

i disagree with the rough country compared to fabtech, my truck maybe a 95 but i started with a 4" rough country and i couldn't keep it in alignment and ended up breaking one of the brackets and doing that cracked my frame, then i installed my 6" superlift and i have had no problems with alignment and it rides just like stock, i guarentee if you took out a truck with a rough country lift and a truck with a fabtech or a brand name lift see which one makes it longer. you get what you pay for.
