Default Dirtlogic vs fox

I want to replace the coilover and big spacer on my 6" lift with a single coilover like a dirtlogic or fox. The dirt logics are cheaper then the fox but I know the fox shocks are better offroad but how much better? How much better are the dirtlogics compared to the 5100's I have now. I go offroad in cornfields mudding and once a year I beat on it down in the outer banks drive on beach.. So which should I get?

Fabtech is complete trash. Their product, r and d, ride quality and customer service is all terrible. I went with icons and they are the ****. I can crank them to 8 inches of lift and they are great in the street and offroad. I will never buy a fabtech product ever again. If someone gave me a fabtech product for free I would sell it or throw it away.

A lot of people like their stuff but if you compare it to a better brand the difference is night and day. Comparing fabtech to fox is like comparing a honda civic to a ferrari. Go with fox or king or icon

1200 bucks. They can only be used if you already have a 6 inch crossmember lift in place. I had the basic fabtech 6 inch lift, blew all shocks in no time and replaced with icons and bilsteins. Never did any off roading, the fabtechs just blow in the street lol.
