Leveling kit and shocks

Hello, I have a '99 Superduty f-250 4X4 with 200K miles and want to update the suspension.

The shocks look stock, so they are suspect and probably need replacement. What else should I look over?

Also, I am considering a leveling kit. Will it look absurb with stock tires?

-Jon

Check the shocks and the bushings on the leafs. The leveling kit will look good with stock tires and the kit will allow for 33's (maybe a skinny 35) to fit underneath. It is all depending on what you want. If you might think that the leveling kit will not be enough lift then you should consider a 4 or 6 inch lift. Again it all depends on what you want. Check some of the gallery's and make your decision. IMO go with the 4 or 6 inch lift you will not be disappointed.
