Do you want to add height IE lift kit, or keep it stock height? These things won't ride like a BMW.

whatever it takes to iron out some of the rough spots. I prefer not to raise the height, except maybe the front .

I just took two leafs out of the back on each side of my 01 F250 and added the Airlift 5k lb. air bag setup with compressor. I now have a level ride height all the time and a HUGE difference in ride quality.HUGE! Plus a set of KYB Monomax shocks all around.I think it does ride as good as a Beemer!
