leveling kit

I have a 03 PSD, cc 4x4. I want to level the thing out. I looked on the net for kits and they run about 300. They also come with several parts. They also call it a 2.5 inch leveling kit. Now I went to Les Schwab the other day and they told me it was a 1.5 inch add a leaf kit. Only one leaf per side. Is that going to level my baby out or am I going to need something other than what the bonehead at schwabs was talking about. Please help with this issue.

I think Les Schwab is only showing the single add a leaf for your rig w/out the trac bar relocator. At least that is what my local schwab tried to sell me. You may want to ask what they sell for earlier models. Not sure if that will help but it might.

You are asking for help but you are not giving one crucial bit of info. Do you own an F250 or an F350? Again as I stated in your last post:

Do you have an F250 or an F350. It makes a big difference when you buy a kit that says it will "level" your truck. Most kits say they are for (F250/350) This is not exactly true. They each take a different amount of lift up front to level with the rear due to the rear factory lift blocks being different. F350 blocks are taller which need an additional 2 inches up front to level. I used the Tuff Country leveling kit which is actually designed to level an F350 (not stated so on web site). Once installed I had to add-a-leaf to the rear leaf pack to get the rear up to match the new front "leveling kit".
