Need help leveling kit 09 f150

There are simply too many designs and choices for a simple 2" leveling kit for my new 09 F150 4x4. I am sure this has been debated, but can anyone tell me the differences between using coil over spring, spacers, plastic v. metal etc? Who makes the best kit that does not change smooth ride quality? airspring, ready lift, sky jacker, daystar? Thanks for the help.

well i would say a all steal spacer is the best, it will not change any ride quality and go to ebay look for hell bent or autospring their the best priced and most used

Autosprings FTW

all steel construction, and they were the first on the market for the 04-08 trucks.

Above Spacer:
you remove your front coil-over, bolt the 2" spacer ontop of it, then re-install to the truck


has NO EFFECT ON RIDE. just gives you a few inches of altitude up front
Inside Coil-over:
remove coil-over from truck
dis-assemble the coil-over
insert the 2" plastic puck
re-assemble and install

This does change your ride quality. The plastic puck changed the spring pre-load...typically makes the ride harsher
