Leveling kit

How did you guys lift the front? Spacers or taller springs? Which did you use? Still researching for the 7.3 (which requires heavier springs) not sure which route to take. Not many options for this size engine.

Shackle reversal kit. Lift plus better ride quality.

Do you have an F-250 or F-350? 4x4 or 2x4?

The link above is for a D60 front axle. Found in stock F-350 4x4 trucks, or swapped into F-250 4x4. The shackle reversal moves the leaf spring shackle from the front of the axle to the rear. Most people report improved ride quality with it.
