I bought a rough country leveling kit for my f-250. It came only with add a leaves and hardware. I believe most of the leveling kits are the same. They don't include the drop brackets for the ttb. This makes it harder to align the front end. I believe you don't get drop brackets til you go to a 4" kit. However I have seen 2.5" kits for the 150/bronco that have drop brackets with them (Tuff Country maybe?), but a level kit is only gonna give you 1.5 to 2 inches. Also you will have to heat the little wraps on your leaf springs with a torch to take them apart to put the leaves in the pack. I've decided against putting it in my truck for now because I'm getting a Dana 60 axle from a guy and possibly the f-350 springs too.
One more thing, they state you don't need new shocks in the instructions.
