i dont know which one to choose, i tow and snowplow and i plan to keep my truck for a very long time..

Your help is appreciated.

Thank you,

What year is your truck?

 

im ordering mine from summit next week. i am getting the 2.5" leveling kit with 4 new skyjacker nitro shocks and 4" block's for the back for right at about 500 bucks. the actual leveling kit is only $236.

 

My truck is an 04, full 4 door with a short bed. I dont want to jack it super high or anything I just want to level it up.

 

So it has leaf springs right? If you want to level the front the add a leafs are probably your best best. I'm pretty sure the blocks are always for the rear.

 

Well I am seeing both kits for sale. The blocks are like $60-100 and the leaf springs are like $250 - $300. The money is not the problem i just want to do it once and do it right so i was looking for someone that may have done it already to ask their opinion.

 

I'm sure someone will speak up with more knowledge, but, I don't think block on the front are recommended. This is for safety reasons.

 

New springs, drop hanger, spring pack for the front no blocks. Too much happens on the front end to use blocks.

 

I have a 04 F350 long box diesel . I put on a 2.5 tuff country leveling kit. It is level and looks good.I am happy with the kit. GREG

 

Where did you buy it from? How much was it? I am seeign the tough country kits online. Did you replace the stabilizer bar thats recommended?

Thanks for your help.

 

MistaBob, I have a 04 F-350 extended cab that I put a 1 1/2 inch Tuff Country add-a-leaf leveling kit in. It looks real good and rides just a little stiffer than stock. I have had it in for 4 or 5 years with no problems and it was an easy install. Me and my brother did installed it in an hour and a half. This kit does not raise the truck that high that you have any issues with the sway bar links, brake lines, shocks or drive shaft. I purchased the kit from the Suspension Connection in Utah for $99.00 plus shipping. I see on their web site that the same kit is $116.05 today. Where in New York are you?

Good luck, Bob
