I only want to raise the front of my 2007 FX4 to get some larger tires . I only was to raise it 2". I know there are thousands of you that have the leveling kits installed. But if money was absolutely no object, would you still go with the kit or the Bilsteins shock setup? The more input the better. Your honest opinions and reasons would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

 

I would go with the Bilsteins. Mainly because of the fact of getting a better shock over the stock units. I went with the spacers because I wasn't sure if I would like the lift or not. I ended up liking it and have been looking at getting the Bilsteins when it is time to change the stock units. I add my airbags to the rear tomorrow, so I may be looking to change them sooner rather than later.

 

So my question is now with some of you guys out there with theses kits (Bilstein, Rancho) installed, whats the ride like over stock? Im 85% ready to get the 5100 Bilsteins, but I havent heard any DAILY RIDE REPORTS?

 

I went with Beltech 2 inch lift struts because I have a 6 inch lift and didnt want to stack spacer.... So far I love the ride of them, much better then the stockers,

 

The ride is a lot better with the Bilsteins. Its a little more firm but thats a good thing, you dont seem to be "tossed around" as much when you hit bumps. It also seems like you get less body roll in tight corners. If you get off road, you will notice a pretty big difference there too. That should be kind of obvious being that it is an offroad shock. I love mine and have no regrets doing it.
