leveling kit

I am going to be putting a leveling kit on next payday. This is the one I am thinking of getting. http://www.jackit.com/ford/ford_leveling_kits.htm
Has anyone used this one ? How do you like it? Is the ride close to stock ride? Do I need the adjustable front track bar?

I've got the Tuff Country setup, very similar. Ride stiffened up maybe slightly. The supplied bracket will relocate the track bar. The only thing I had to do was adjust the drag link to center my steering wheel afterwards.

I have never heard of them, but when you start replacing springs, don't expect the same ride. However, I'd suggest getting a set of bilstiens to make the ride as good as it will get.

Looks good to me, the fact that it has a rear spring as opposed to rear blocks is a big plus in my book, Do You have overload springs? if not, I would add those too when you have the rear springs apart

That kit looks like what is on my truck. It was on it when I got it though, so I can't be sure. I can tell you that the 315/75R16 BFG M/Ts look kind of small with the crew cab/long bed. I would like to go a little higher but it wouldn't be practical towing a horse trailer.
