I'm trying to find a leveling kit for my '06 F-350 PSD CC. I just wanted to get some feedback from others that have one, and find out the best brand to buy. Thanks

 

I have been looking into the same issue. I have found 2 basic kit types by doing a google search. The 1st is a solid piece of billet aluminum that has a hole drilled in the middle and goes under the coil bucket between the bucket and the axle. The 2nd is basically the same idea except it is made from steel plate and tubing. They both sell for around the same prices (anywhere from $50 - $80 depending on where you look for them).

My issue is which is going to be stronger to handle the weight of my diesel and still last for years without any worries?

 

Where did you find those prices? The lowest I found was $150 for a Tuff Country, without shocks (I don't need shocks because I have the Rancho shocks already). I'm not sure what is stronger, alum. or steel, but all it has to do is hold the weight in a vertical position, so it doesn't seem like there would be a lot of "stress". Thanks

 

go with 2" lift coil springs

 

Why not spacers? What brand?

 

I went with the Fabtech leveling kit and am very pleased. Pics in my gallery.

 

Truck looks good, if I can ask, how much did you pay for the Fabtech? Where? Thanks

 

We have Fabtech's here at the MotorHaven shop. You can do some browsing here...some really helpful reviews are on each product page:

Our forum promo FTEDEAL will give $20 bucks off Fabtech's when entered into the shopping cart in the promo code spot.

 

spring retail for about $250. at least its not a spacer...

 

I got wheels, tires, and other goodies all at once, for the leveling kit, I think I paid around $400 installed, watched them do it and it is simple to install. East Coast Truck Accessories in Melbourne, FL did the work. Doug is the man!

 

The kits I found are just the spacers and ne bolts, no shocks like the Fabtech kit. That is probably why they are so inexpensive. The aluminum spacer blocks do look similar to the Fabtech block, and are made of 6061 billet.

I don't think they are the Fabtech's, they just look similar.

 

Who did you get that price from? The only one I found from Fabtech was the spacer type. Did that price include front and rear shocks?

 

springs are made by superlift. does not include shocks. also need radius arm brackets. it does start adding up...but like i said its not a spacer.

 

I have spacers and they are fine. No issues what so ever. It's a relatively easy install. They're the ones that have the the tube w/ two big washers welded to it for lack of a better description. The're plenty strong and go on top of the spring. I didn't want to lose my stock springs. I was afraid that the aftermarket springs wouldn't hold up to the diesel as well. Also, I got the 2" set up and I didn't change my shocks. I haven't run into any issues. I figured if they leaked, I'd replace them. They haven't...

 

I've Seen The Springs, They Are About Twice The Thickness And Coils. Smooth Ride Though....i Guess The Rate Is Just Dialed In.
