Subject: levelling kit options
From: Kirk Werner Werner.org>


A buddy of mine ordered a '01 F350 CC 4x4 V10, same truck as I have, though
mine's a '00. His truck is in, but he's waiting while the dealer adds a
front levelling kit for him. They told him he has two options: a shackle kit
or a adding a front leaf on each side. Both, he is told, will level the
truck (lifting the front about 2 inches).  Adding the front leaf will
stiffen the ride, whereas the shackle kit will not effect ride.  I'm
considering the same, and my first choice would be to go with the leaf
spring because (A) its considerably cheaper, and (B) it also adds weight
bearing capacity (though obviously not in the legal sense).  I have Rancho
9000s, so I figure I can dial the fronts down to soften the ride if it got
too severe with an added leaf up front.  Has anyone done this? What other
pros/cons might there be regarding one option over another?

Thanks

Kirk

I have a 97 powerstroke 4x4 HD and I am looking for chip info .. and need to
know about tires sizes.. I have the small 235/85/16 and want to go bigger
But not loose any gearing, I was thinking the 285/75/16.  I have the 4:10
rear end.   Was the superchip worth the cash?    Can you remove the muffler
on the powerstoke and not loose torqe?

Thanks  .
