Mini Spring pack leveling kits

I'm looking at a mini spring pack kit to level my 02 F250 FWD SD V10. Has anyone had any experience with these kits, good or bad? Any info would be helpful.
Thanks!

The Icon kit (used to be Donahoe) is good, beware of the cheapies on Ebay.

The pro-comp kit is good. Have had mine on for 7 years now with no problems. (half as much as an Icon kit)

Icon kit

Cartmanea That's the kit I had been looking at, the Icon one. I did see that cheaper kits on ebay and wonder what the differences are.

Heavy Metal, I wasn't aware of a mini spring pack kit that ProComp makes. How much is it?

Thanks!

We've sold/installed many of the Icon mini spring pack kits.

Very nice, cost effective system made out of high quality spring steel, and includes new center pins and u-bolts.

Hey DC

I understand the Icon kit uses the stock shocks and doesn't require anything else. Is that true?

DUH!!!....It helps if I read the link you sent me. Thanks!!!

Correct, the lift occurs under the the stock spring pack so the stock shocks work with the lift.


You would see a better ride by switching to Bilsteins, but it isn't necessary.

I think you need 25 posts to use the PM feature.....it doesn't let me PM users with under 25 posts either.

You can use the email address in my sig image if you want.

I'm not being personally critical of rockindoc, I just see it a lot where someone send another person a pm or email and then posts that a pm or email has been sent. This seems redundant to me, and even silly. Is there a point. Again I'm not being personally critical of the poster here, just finally thought to ask.

I'm not being personally critical of aldridgec, I just see it alot where someone starts a thread asking about a certain subject and someone jumps it with something that is not even close to the topic posted. This seems a little silly to me. Is there a point? Again, I'm not being personally critical of the poster here, just thought he/she might start his/her own thread on their own subject and not nit pick mine.

DC, you're awesome as always.

aldridgec, don't be a ****, if you don't have something constructive to say, don't say it. I put those asterisks in myself, but you can fill in the blank. Rockindoc, good comeback
