Upgrade Suspension

Hey all, my first post here so please be nice .....
I have recently joined to F 250 ranks with my first truck, a 2003 dual cab 7.3L 4x4. The previous owner had put in an old man emu 50mm lift extremely heavy duty suspension kit which is not only stiff and uncomfortable, but also failing as some springs are inverted now and shocks are gone. My question is...... has anyone got recommendations or recently upgraded their truck and especially wanted any feedback on SSA and EFS suspension kits. I am after 50mm lift, have bullbar and winch on front, 300kg springs rear and will put in airbags to rear

Regards Deano

Hi gents. I have EFS in mine and won't get it again. Looking at changing mine as we speak so be interested in hearing how it goes for you.

Cheers
