leveling kit install

I want to install a leveling kit on my 03 f350 but I want to know what to expect. Whats the best way to remove the front springs, at least the front mount. The rear mount looks easy enough.

I'm in the same boat as you are. I have a 99 350 CC SRW. I spent over 4 hours of reading on searches on this site. Lots of threads on lifts/leveling. What I found was there are two basic leveling kits. One, with hanger brackets and two new leaf/leaf packs. The hanger options seems to be pricey but very good and easy. The add a leaf or leaf packs might be a little cheaper but some people compline of the "add a leaf" squeking. I still have not decided what option I'm going to do. Figure I would go to some local 4x4 shops and see what kits are popular. I mainly use my truck as a work truck so I'm going to listen to the advise given to me on this board and go for only a 2/2.5 inch leveling kit. Keep me posted on what you come up with.

I found what I thought was a good deal on a used leveling kit, but it is missing the track bar relocation bracket and from what I've been told your not supposed to reuse u-bolts. After adding up the cost of all the other parts it was just about the same as buying a new kit. I think I'll wait awhile before I do any suspension mods.

Look into www.skyjacker.com

They got what you want, I have a leveling kit on my F250 4x4 PS. But in time I am gonna swap out that junky Twin I-beam for a Dana 60.

But it looks better leveled than slopped.
