Leveling kit

I have been kicking around the idea of putting on a leveling kit on my 04. Has anyone here done it and which one do you recomend?

Spend the extra money on a complete leveling system, ProComp works very well.

Care to elaborate? I know that ProComp makes nice lift kits. I had one on my 02. I'm not addind anymore weight to my front end with a plow, winch or anything else. I'm just looking for a more leveled look. Why spend the extra $$ if it is not nessessary? Just wondering.

I bought the Tuff Country leveling kit, for my '00 SD. It worked out just fine. It is similar to the kit you are looking at. All I was looking for was just a leveled look, just like you. It was not worth the extra cost to me to go to a lift kit to just have the blasted thing sit level.

Usually the add-a-leaf will stiffen up the ride. If you do not mind getting a "rough" ride out of the rough country...then that is the way to go.

I recommend the DR leveling mini-spring kit. You can customize the amount of lift by removing a leaf or two. Very nice product...and keep the same stock ride.

Also a nice product is the 3" leveling Hanger system. Works nice with your application since you have an F350. Part #: 3-3000-99
