lift/leveling kit. what type?
hey yall, ain't been on here in awhile going to pick your brains once again. wanting lift my 03 fx4 alittle with out spending big money on a suspension lift so was thinking about doing the leveling kit. i went to looking on ebay and whatnot and was undecided between the shackle kit, mini spring pack, or the bracket kit which lowers the leaf spring mounting points? Am i going to need to get the track bar relocation bracket for any of these or do any other modifications? I don't do any serious off roading but do use my truck in the fields for work and such and want which ever one will hold up and be the safest. thanks.

I have a Pro Comp 2" shackle/hanger kit waiting for me to get off my *** and install it one of these days. In a perfect world I would go with an all spring setup like Pro Comp, Donahoe, Rough Country, Tuff Country, etc. just know that some of the less expensive kits tend to have a harsh ride. I picked my kit up super cheap or I would have saved until I could afford a good all spring kit.

I was on the fence with waht to do as well, and decided on just getting my Superlift springs re-arc`d. Worked awesome, and now I don`t have any shackles & hangers to fuddle with. Cost about the same too.

Yes and no... heavy box so the shipping "fee" would be high.
Then there is the "inconvenience fee" for me having to go through trying to find another kit I like affordably

Hey guys sry for no reply or feedback on the answers to the question about the leveling kit. I haven't had a computer of my own for the last 3 weeks and have been having to use friends. (mine went out the day after i asked the question). These things are nice when they work but are a pain when they don't and you don't know how to fix them. Thanks again for all the help and input yall give.
