What's the best leveling kit

I want to put a 2" or 2.5" leveling kit on my truck and was wondering which one is the best to get for 2006 F350 4x4 CCSB...this truck won't be towing or hauling anything other than my 4-wheeler w/trailer, less than 2500lbs. The ride quality is very important, currently running 33" tires but might go with 35's in the future??

I have a leveling kit on my 07 from an unknown origin, came with truck when i bought it. If i was going to replace i would probably look into the bilstein 2" level kit. you get 5100 series shocks and full front springs vs most kits that simply install a spacer.

Carli is a great suspension although i feel over kill considering the usage of the truck.

I had great luck with the Active Suspension RAS kit. It raised the rear about an inch with no increase in ride harshness, but all the difference in the world in handling.

Check out: Roadmaster Active Suspension

Thanks fellas for all the input!! I have been searching thru the millions of post on what kit to get. I was thinking of just putting spacers on the front really, just want to level it out. It rides great now and don't won't that to change. I'll probably go with a 2.5 nylon/poly spacer which I think requires shock extensions too. I just want to use a recommended brand that others have used, nothing over kill.

I've had a Ready Lift 2.5" spacer kit on mine for 8 years now with no problems. Truck rides just like stock.

Did the Ready Lift 2.5" spacer kit level your truck? I've heard/read some of the 2.5" spacer kits "might not" totally level it...?

I just purchased the Ready Lift 2.5" leveling kit. It should be here in a few days. I hope to get it on this weekend, unless I headed out hunting!!
