Daystar? Tuff Country? Autospring????

Too many choices.

Looking to level out my '04 FX4 Scab as soon as I get back from Iraq...

With so many leveling kits to choose from, I need some advice...

Have read about FX4s leveling differently from other models (lifting more) because of the diffently spring rate.

What kit works best on an FX4?

Do I risk voiding the factory warranty by installing one?

I went with the Daystar kit. They're all the same pretty much, besides the height.

I went with the 2.5" and my truck sits level now, no sag or high rear end.

I went with the Daystar as well and am happy with the results. I have before and after pics in my gallery. By the way, thanks for you service over there and hope you get home safe!

Had the Daystar for 8000 miles no regrets. The warranty is only affected if the lift causes the damage. Welcome back, and thank you!!!

From what I've read, it's better to go with the suspension lift. The body lift can cause more problems later on. The suspension lift is more costly, but worth it in less problems.

Thanks Hockey24

Just read Hockey24's Daystar install post. Great pics... leveling on the FX4 is exactly what I wanted.

You can see by the pics in gallery that my *** end is WAY higher than the front... and that's with the 35.7 gal tank 3/4 full!

Thanks, Hockey24!
