Leveling Kits, Edge, Summit, or Rancho?

Well with much education from this site I have decided to go with spring packs to level out my 2001, F250 4x4 PSD so now I would like to get some opionions on the three I listed above. I'm very interested in hearing from anyone who is or has run any of these spring packs on their trucks. I'm curious as to any change in ride, height, and comments concerning overall satisfaction. This is a really great site, however, the jury is still out on this new look; just when I was getting to really get around the old one now I have to learn this new one.

I like your method of leveling your truck, i think it is the best way to go, although certainly not the cheapest. I am not familiar with the kits offered by the above man. but if ride is a concern look for a pack that has more thinner leaves as opposed to fewer thicker leaves like the stockers. The thinner ones should yield a better ride. good luck. The jury is still out on the new look, I think the posts were easier to read with poster in the column on the side instead of on top. What will be will be.

I did the skyjacker add a leaf. It gave me 2 1/4 inches up front. I have an '02 350 w/7.3 and x springs. The ride is pretty stiff. However the bilstein 5100's helped alot.
I would be concerned about totaly replacing the factory spings. What are the spring packs rated at? Mow much weight can they carry until they sag? If I where to do it over I would look at fabtech spring hanger. Or maybe the edge mini pack? Good luck with what ever you choose.
