My BDS 2" leveling kit came with caster correction bushings. Easy install. No noticeable difference from stock to leveled in handled (just my opinion).

My correspondence with them this week is that
"R&D is done on the trucks and we're waiting on the production of the parts and the shocks to show up before we can release the kits. Would should have pricing finalized in a couple weeks but right now, we're looking to about $150 more compared to the same kit for a 2016. Be sure that you're signed up for the mail list for the 2017+ trucks as that's where we'll be making all our first announcements of pricings, timeline and pre-order availability."

I have seen on instagram some Carli applications have been placed on the 2017 SDs, but I am sure there was some on the fly mods/adjustments.

I've seen some folks making them work mated together with other manufacturers parts, which I am sure work great. I checked with the local shop today about availability and he echoed the end of the month or next month for the Carli packages to become available. Not sure if everyone has seen this or not, but pretty cool to read through.

Diesel Cartel's site states they are Icon springs, unless I'm reading it wrong.
Icon 2.5" Leveling Springs for F250/F350

No offense was intended. I was just referring to the fact that the actual Carli kits for the 2017 SDs from Carli Suspensions have not been released yet. The blog link I found interesting since it described the changes in the new MY and how they were overcoming them. Other parts from other manufacturers could easily be substituted.
