Best leveling kit for 05's

Anyone have info good or bad on basic leveling kits (2-2.5 inches)for the 2005 Superdutys?
Some of the brands are, Skyjacker, Revtek, Superlift, Fabtech, Rough Country, Rancho, Tuff Country & Daystar. Some use spacers and some use new springs. Not looking to spend a ton of $$ but don't want junk either. Thanks.

My knowledge is from reading here on FTE and various other 4x4 websites. However, most feel the Donahoe Racing is the best...for the FORD.

Not so good: Fabtech - Parts rust easy

got my DR kit put on yesterday. it cannot possibly get better than that. noticeable ride improvement (smooth) and maybe it's just in my head, but it feels like it brakes better. corners like my '03 cobra, not to mention the fact that the "ol' man truck" look is GONE! got mine from john at sicklifts in CA. DR knows him and told me noone could touch his price. he sold me the 6-2500 kit for $700.00 shipped, which comes with all 4 new shocks, two progressive front coil springs and the alignment cams. highly recommend. my 2nd best mod yet. (flashpaq is 1st)
