they look okay...but I wonder if they'll have the growing pains that Autosprings had initially.
I can't believe they sell a 3" kit. The 2.5" is about the biggest you can install. Even with 2.5", you'll still have minimal spring to control arm contact.

I've got the Bilstien 2" kit and I love it. Hope you like the one you've got. I did a lot of research and I wanted new shocks and struts also. I heard that rancho has one now called a Quick lift it uses an air bag at the top of the strut.

Sorry to hijack but can you level a truck without changing the shocks will the stock shocks work right with a leveling kit installed might be a dump question but i ordered my leveling kit without thinking of this. thanks yall

Go to FatBobsgarage.com thats where I got mine. I think they were 149. you can also check ebay under f-150 suspension lift. I dont know if helpers will do the trick some of them just are just kinda under the mainspring and they dont actually touch till you get loaded up. the add a leaf is actually part of the spring pack and they increase your load capacity 900 lbs.
