F350 Front Leveling Kit

Somewhere in this forum I saw a write up about a front leveling kit for my F350 (01). It consists of replacement brackets that look just like stock only a bit longer. Brackets for front of front leaf and rear of front leaf. Can anyone point me in the right direction or have any input.
I would like to get a kit from Canada as UPS has "stick-em-up give me all your money attitude when coming from the states. Thanks

Thanks for the info. I think I would like just the hanger kit if I can find it.
I seem to have trouble finding a good outlet in Ontario.

I have a Pro Comp 2" shackle kit waiting in the garage to go on... it's a very solidly built kit. Comes with new front hangers and rear shackles for the front springs, all the bolts you need and track bar eccentric hardware. They are pricey but they are better built than some of the others out there. I got lucky and scored mine for $100 from a guy that bought it and never installed it, I think they retail around $250.

Thanks for the info. That's what I think I will go for. I don't think I need to change the front springs like some kits. Did 2" pretty much level out the front end?

It did when I put the floor jack under the front end and cranked it up... the kit is still in a box in my garage If money were no object I'd get new front springs instead of the shackles, but the shackles are a more affordable alternative.

I know what you mean. When I was younger, I used to lift all my crew cabs. Older now and wifey doesn't like to climb up. I just want to get rid of the "rake".

I smell what you're stepping in... I've never had a lifted truck though. With 2 young kids I don't want a lift either! Pro Comp sells a leveling kit that is supposed to raise the front 2" but is all spring, that's what I was referring to rather than a full lift. There are a few others that make all spring level kits too... Tough Country and maybe one more, been a while since I looked around.
