How do the leveling kits work off road?

As a lot of you, I want to level out my 2004 FX4 F150 and put some larger rubber underneath it, but I do a fair amount of off roading. What I want to know is how the leveling kits handle off road? I am looking at the autospring. Do they function well off road, or do I need to step up to a new coil over like the Donahoe's or Rancho's?

the guy I went to said the f 150 s prings are tougher than any he has seen so I would think no need. I had a 2 inch front spacer installed and it makes the front end stiffer by a lot. Have not done a lot of offroading yet but so far no problems.
