Add A Leafs Installed!!

I put in my 2.5" Skyjacker add a leafs on my 03 F250 4x4 SD with X-springs. I am very pleased with this install. I got 3" out of the back and only 2" in the front because the x-springs are so stiff. The truck sits much better now and I feel it drives alot better. I was afraid that the ride would be way to stiff but stiff isn't the word. Its firm. The truck feels much more firm especially in corners. I am now glad I did it but now I need to get some 315's to replace those 295's!!!!!

The front kit cost $125 and the rear leafs cost $65. I was able to use the factory U-Bolts and I made my own Trax bar bracket. The rear shocks cost me $70 for the pair. I already had front shocks for a lift. So actually the whole thing was very inexpensive. Of course the new tires won't be!!
