Leveling Kit

Have an 08 F350 4x4 dually that am considering installing leveling kit on front end. Any feedback about what brand would be best, don't want to screw up how it drives and handles

I cant tell you which is best but I can tell you that I used the 2 inch spacers that go on top of the factory springs and I havent had any complaints at all. the best way is probably to replace the whole spring and shock but I took the cheaper route and it works/looks great.

I have the same kit. It's been great so far (approx 40K miles). I also removed the stock rear spring blocks and installed the Readylift 5" blocks. Very slight rake again (not that you'd see it unless you studied it), but now it doesn't look like I'm driving up hill when a trailer is on the hitch.

Thanks for feedback, I have Firestone Air bags on my 01 Dually work truck with a Rough Country 2.5" levelling kit and really like the bags so I wanted to install them on my 08 but it seems to have more rake than the 01 did stock (may just be my perception). Don't mind slight rake but don't like the nose dive effect.
