Default Rough Country 4" versus 5"

Hello all,
I have a 2003 f150 supercrew 4x4 that has 33 x12.50 on 16x10s. I currently have the torsion bars cranked but I have decided to put a suspension lift on the thing.

6" is too much (for 33s) and many would argue a 4" or 5" is too much for 33s. Nonetheless, I am going to put a rough country on the thing.

My question now is; what is the difference between the 4" and 5" rough country lift for our trucks? I searched the net and rough country site and cannot identify the difference. They are the same price as well.

5" uses an inch bigger block and pretty sure you have to crank tbars a little bit if you want to get a full 5"

Just like everyone is saying, it is just an inch bigger, yet the same price. I'd go with the 5, who knows, you might get 35's later on down the road, but I think a 5" on 33's would look decent. Here is my truck with the rough country 5" on 35's
