Which front Add-a-leaf/Leveling kit for 97 PSD 4WD F-350??

Hello again all, My 97 PSD has the infamous front end sag. It's actually not that bad, the leafs are still arched a bit. I want it level with the back again. I've searched but haven't found a clear answer. I've seen "Rough" Country add-a-leafs, "Tuff" Country leveling kit, Skyjacker Softride from Summit. JC Whitney seems to have a few. Some say for F-250 though. Which do you guys recommend? Some are $60, some are $110? I don't know which to buy? All opinions welcome, Thanks

Thumbs up

I bought a '97 f350 CC 4x4 and it had a pair of Standen replacements under the front. The part# is 43-498HD. This truck sits level. They have a website at www.standens.com. They do not sell direct but call them at 800-663-7800 for a local distributer.

i used the tuff country leaf kit bought on e-bay on my 95 f-250 and i liked it alot. gave me an inch and a half which brought my truck a 1/2 from level. but some times if i park jsut right it looks like the front is high so you really don't want it perfectly level. plus if you tow at all your truck will really "sag" in the back if you are perfectly level.

I got mine from jackit.com, it's actually tuff country components but they put together the package for your specific truck. I was happy with it, all the pieces were there, everything fit fit,the bdirections were clear and customer service acctualy answered when I called. I paid around $310.00 but that was for super speedy delivery.

I Think I'm going with the Tuff Country kit. It's a little more $$ but maybe the ride will be a little better. What brand do you guys recommend for shocks??

Thanks
