Question Leveling Kit?

I have a 2008 Superduty F350 SRW I want to level out the front of the truck. I have heard that Bilstein makes a kit for this truck? Has anyone here done this kit before? and if so how did it work out. I like Bilsteins they are a good product and I think the kit is 2'inch longer springs and 2'inch longer shocks.

I will still be running my stock wheels for now as I just bought new tires for the truck I have 275/65/20 wheels and will upgrade next time around. How big of a tire can u fit under this truck with just a leveling kit? I plan on buying new wheels and larger tires next time around?

The Bilstein BTS kit ( SE5-C765-HO) is a popular and high quality (2.25") kit. I don't have any personal experience with the kit other than the 5100 series shocks.

Remember other items that should be considered/required when lifting i.e. drop track bar bracket or adj., alignment/caster/camber shims and a quality alignment.

you probably want the rear shocks as well. They are listed on the link.

Bilstein

Your tire fitment will depend on tire manufacturer/size and wheel size (back spacing).
