Skyjacker 2.5" Leveling System

Hello all, a reputable Diesel shop/Off road shop suggested a Skyjacker Leveling kit for my 2018 Super Duty. 2.5" using Coils. With Fox 2.0 shocks front and back. Anyone have any experience with this brand or would say this is a good way to go? Thank you mucho for your expertise feedback. Im new!

I used Skyjacker coils. The 2.5 only yielded 2". Only compkaint.

If you ask enough times eventually someone will tell you what you want to hear.

There just coils.... how bad could they be? Obviously a quick search will tell you how much people like Fox shocks on this forum. Just don’t forget the track bar relocation bracket or adjustable track bar

Skyjacker only offers a 2" coil spring, not sure why you thought it was a 2.5" http://skyjacker.com/shop/coil-sprin...e-coil-spring/

I would get the Carli coils, they are only about $90 more and look a lot beefier than these. They are also 2.5" instead of 2", which gave me an exactly level truck at 44.5" to the wheel wells front and back, 11" from the tire to the well.

This guy's top notch diesel shop told him he doesn't need a track bar relocation bracket or additional caster correction. When people countered this, he didn't want to hear it. Not sure what he wants people to tell him about the leveling kit he's asking about beyond what's already been said.
