Skyjacker 2.5 level kit

Thinking of getting the skyjacker 2.5 level kit with the new springs. Any body use this and how do you like it. Can you tell the truck is lifted? How is the ride. Thanks

Fwiw... i have the Donahoe Racing 2.5 kit and couldn't be happier. It cured the saggy front end/jacked rear look of the 350 diesels, and the ride is noticably MUCH better w/ the 4 DR signature series shocks.

I've been asked a couple times by other superduty owners if I have a lift.

Cage Offroad offers a full spring replacement with shocks as well for $200 less than Skyjacker.

The DR 2.5" system includes dual rate coils which have a 10% softer spring rate than stock at ride height which ramp up to 50% over stock at full compression. These provide both improved on-road ride quality and minimize bottoming off-road. The system also includes DR Signature Series shocks which were specifically developed for use with this system. Also included are alignment cams which insure proper alignment specs. The entire kit is made in the USA and is backed by a lifetime warranty.

Here are a few examples of trucks with DR 2.5" system:
