    Just curious if this will look bad. I want the higher lift but I don't want to run 35's. Trying to decide between rcd with 33's or fabtech with 33's. Thanks for helping.

    RCD 4.5", rims & tires (17s with 33s), Pelfreybilt Hybrid Bumper, Rigid lights, Superwinch Tigershark, Wet Okole's, 4.56 gears.
    I have RCD kit and I run 33/12.50 tires. I absolutely mine. For what type of off roading I do the RCD drop bracket suites me perfectly. On the Fabtech with 33s I've seen a couple and to my opinion it looks completely fine depending on the width of the tire you choose... There's a thread on here that says something like show off your 6" lift blah blah blah. I believe its under the suspension category.

    Procomp here, but also a 3" body lift. It does not look bad. I agree, I'd like a bigger tire in the future because of the height. But a 6" will be fine with a 33" tire. Also look into another lift maybe, because I too hear fabtech turning radius is shit. I hear a lot of good things about bds.

    You can also check my build thread for more pics.

    If you are set on a 33" tire id say go with the RCD

    6 inch and 33s doesn't look bad.
    6 inch with 35's look better.
    Then again 3 inch and 35s look pretty bad ass

    6" with 33's looks fine. Of the 2 lifts you stated I would go with the rcd over the fabtech.
