Leveling Kit Problems?

I have installed a leveling kit on my F350 and after 20,000 miles everything is OK. I have read that some people think that Daystar is unsafe and gives you a harder ride. I put Daystar on my 1998 F250 and it rode the same and I did not have any complaints. My question is has anyone that has installed a leveling kit experience any troubles down the road? Or noticed a change in there ride?

I used the Daystar leveling spacers on my 05 for a year and a half with no problems in ride or handling. You do need to get some longer front shocks too!

The only reason I took them out was to lift the truck higher.

I put 2" leveling spacers on my 06 350 and did not put longer shocks on. I have had them on my truck for 2 years now and have had no problems with ride or anything.
