What brand Leveling Kit?

Hey guys. I want to level out the front end of my 06 supercrew. I have done research but not sure which is the cheapest, easiest install and quality?? My buddy paid around $80 for his. Does this sound right? The ones I saw where in the $150-$200 range. Let me know what you think.

i just installed a 3" strut spacer from fatbobsgarage.com I'm happy with it so far it was a fast install and the parts are made of steel and very good quality got them on ebay for 70$. as for install took a couple wrenches, jack, jackstand, and torque wrench, about an hour of time if you are mechanically inclined.

I installed the autosprings 2.5" in the front and a leaf in the back. I wanted to be able to still load the truck after the front lift. The stance looks really good.

4x4?

If so, visit your Ford Dealership and buy the 2wd axle u-bolts.

Unbolt rear axle, remove the 2" block

Rebolt axle using the shorter 2wd u-bolts

There are 3 different axles.

Heavy Duty - 10.25 axle
4.6 Motor - 8.8 axle
5.4 Motor - 9.75 axle

So make sure you buy the correct bolts. Cause there are 6 different available

I like my HELLBENT STEEL 2.5" leveling kit. Go through Ebay or their website. Great product, great price.

I'll be getting my Rough Country leveling kit hopefully by the end of the week.
2.5" front, with a 1" block for the rear and new Nitro 9000 shocks for $250..... minus shipping.
