Best front leveling Kit

I have recenly purchased a 2000 Excursion with a PSD. I want to level the front end. What is the best way to do that. I already have 33'' tires on the way.

Easiest - least expensive - the 2.5" Edge mini spring pack. Next the 3" Fabtech hanger kit. Better ???? option - Edge 3" or 4.5" kit. The 4.5" is my reccomendation but it may take you places you don't want to go, such as: new track bar relocation bracket, drop pitman arm, rear block lift, all new shocks, etc. My truck is exactly level lifted 4.5" front and 2" in the rear. Good luck.

I would like to do it cheap. I am only going to run 33" tires so I don't need too much lift. Leveling should be enough.

More than the mini spring pack. C code spring are reverse arched and almost impossible to do anything with from a rearching perspective. Mini spring pack and two hours of your time + air tools, two jacks, etc.. Do the passenger side first, then drivers side. If you don't want to do it - pay $100 - 150 for install of mini packs and new front shocks. You will need longer front shocks.

How much does the mini spring pack effect the ride?

None as far as I know. Doesn't change anything other than ride height and a decent pair of front shocks is definately going to help the ride.

Thanks to Spartan's previous advise, I went with the Edge mini spring pack. No change to ride, but a better look. The tire/wheel wells needed a little more clearance due to the 285 tires. This is a 2" kit and will level the truck. Althought level, the X appears to look nose high. The next day I put 4" F-250 blocks in the rear. No vibration problems. This kept the factory rake. I kept the factory front and rear shocks until I come up with some more $.

The mini spring pack is MUCH easier than new springs to install.
