Time to grow up!

Ok I have just over 110k on my truck and figured its time for new shocks... So I was looking at leveling kits seeing this would be a good time if ever. So I was told that procomp's 2" spring kit was the way to go. I have 295 that put on last year and will probably put on some 315's when they wear out. Was wondering if anyone has this kit and what they think of it pictures would be nice


Thanks,
Matt

I have procomps 4" kit and am pretty happy with it. It replaced a fabtech leveling kit when the 315's were put on, because the 2" did not complete clear them. I think there is a profile picture in my gallery of my 4" with 315's.

Expect a small amount of rub with the 315's. As for a leveling kit, I really like fabtech. It's a clean kit.

well, the donahoe shackle kits are awesome from donahoe. absolutely the best. imo. anyway, the lit has new ubolts and a mini spring pack. it bolts in like you were doing a block lift. go to donahoeracing.com and see their lift options.

Here is the info on the 2" leveling kit from DR. Which would be my choice. I know several guys that are running it.

Our 2" system is a great, cost effective way to level out the F-250/350 Super Duty trucks and to provide room for 295/75R16 tires. This system utilizes a 2" mini front spring pack that is a simple add-on to your stock spring pack. By keeping the main leafs in the mini pack short, the change in spring rate is minimal, thus keeping stock ride quality.
Good luck...

ok is there something wrong with the pro comp kit is that why you guys are running these setups or just to retain the "caddy" ride. I wouldnt mind the front end being stiffer drive too much like a car with all the body roll and I put poly bushings in the front sway bar too haha. Thanks

no, nothing wrong with the kit from procomp. but imo, the donahoe kits are the best quality and use deaver springs which are the best springs made.......

some just cant justify the price difference though. the donahoe kit is pricey compared the others. thats why they go with the procomp or fabtech.

oh ok yea that was another thing I was looking at too basically I am getting cost on the procomp kit and from what I understand it comes with shocks front and rear so that save some money I hope some can varify that for me

Although the DH kit sounds better if I am going to spend more might as well put a 4" kit in but that might make it hard for me to get in and out everyday I am 5'8"!!

I've got a Tuff Country 2.5" leveling kit. It consists of 5 leaves that get added to your stock pack. It rides somewhat stiffer. I replaced the stock shocks w/ Bilstein's.
