How does this sound....
...first off, long time reader, first time poster. Have learned much from many of you for new ride, and would like to have some confirmation before I order the parts this week. I have a 03` 250 w/5.4, Not my first motor choice, but left over prices are too good to resist. Truck is a supercab longbed 4x4. Looking to level, and fit 33x12.516's under it.
Looking at the:
- FABTECH 3.5 spring hanger
- F-350 Rear Blocks
What I need help on is which shocks do I use ? I know the Bilstein's are highly recommended, or should I stay with what fabtech's complete comes with? will they be the right length?
I do have the BE5-6245-H5, BE5-6246-H5 part numbers for the SD specified shock, but not sure if this shock will work with this leveling set-up ??
Anyone care to help a new SD owner?

I used a different brand level kit using the shackles. If you can order just a set of shackles without shocks, this is the best option. If not any shock besides stock is better.
Bilsteins are worth the extra cost. Spend a little extra now or a lot more later.

Never ran a leveling kit, but is an inch and a half enough to level it? If it is than that setup will work out pretty good.
Heavy is right about the shocks, don't skimp if you don't have to, the bilsteins ARE that much better.
