putting together a leveling kit

Putting together a leveling kit. Had a bit of suspension work done recently on my 06 F250 4×4 (ball joints, track bar joint, tie rods....etc) when I put tires on. The bushings in my Readylift kit feel apart and my front end is sagging. Soo... I am looking at a few options. I want to do an adjustable track bar, been looking at this one from BD.

BD-Power 1032110 Adjustable Track-Bar

Anybody use it? I think I want to shy away from a coil spacer puck. If I do, I will do one of those billet bottom spacers. I am really aim to do upgraded leveling coil springs alone instead, if possible. Either way, I want to change the coils..

Any thoughts?

If I was going to do it I would go with true variable rate springs. Get me some good ride unloaded and retain load capacity when working hard. For example Ford Super Duty Multi Rate Coil Springs for a 4.5" Suspension Lift

They are designed with closely spaced coils at one end. As the spring is loaded those coils bind, so that the more widely spaced coils take up the load. The fewer coils in action the stiffer the spring gets.

'Preciate the input. I will probably pick up some Carli springs and possibly their track bar. Anybody have a Helwig sway bar?
