Default Whats the Difference?

Im looking to get new lift blocks for my truck to swap out the stacked ones I have now. Im torn in between 2 different blocks. One made from Tuff Country that comes with U bolts and the other made from Fabtech that doesnt include u bolts. They are both around the same price. I got both links here too,

http://performancelifts.com/cgi-bin/cart/FTSBK52.html

Just wondering which route I should go and if all I would be paying extra for would be the brand since I know Febtech is supposedly better. I want to eventually get entire leaf packs to provide the lift but I dont have the money for those right now so this is my only option.

Thats what I am wondering if it makes a difference. I dont know why the Tuff Country kit come with hardware and u bolts while the Fabtech comes with just the blocks and is $20 more.

Im going to upgrade the shocks as well cus im stretching mine to the limit already. If someone wants to donate 700 bucks ill get the springs lol.
