Readylift SST kit
I am looking into one of these for my truck. Its the 2.5" front with shock extenders. It also includes the 4" rear block to replace the 2" that my F250 came with. I am going to use the 5" option rather than the 4" because I want that 'rake' look. I tow quite a bit and dont like that low in the back look that it may have with just the 4" blocks. The kit also comes with the carrier bearing shim and the revised panhard bracket.
Any suggestions or recommendations?
On their website, they list a track bar bracket but not as part of the kit. What is this exactly (is it the same as the panhard bracket?)?
Thanks guys!!!

the panhard bar and track bar brackets are the same thing. I have heard nothing but good things about the kit and i have spoken with one of the guys at readylift. it will clear 35's with no rub but will hit with 37's. another leveling kit you may want to consider is the revtek kit. unlike the readylift kit, this one comes with new front shocks, alignment cams, and the spacer is under the spring instead of over it. the track bar bracket is optional but when you add it into the price, it is the same or cheaper than the readylift lit. rocky mountain suspension sells it and they are great to deal with.

The alignment cams - whats their purpose and how does the readylift setup work without them?

The alignment cams correct your caster setting.
With the installation of a leveling kit or lift the caster is changed to a more negative degree. Something needs to be used to correct this, by giving a positive degree change to the caster.
Caster being too negative will give you death wobble.
As for kits not including it....they must not think that it needs it.
IMO, the stock caster setting is on the low side to start with.....getting it closer to 0* is not a good idea at all. I run my stock height 07 out of spec on the positive side of caster to get improved handling.
