I've never heard of them but I know a lot of people on this forum (including me) like to use Autosprings leveling kits. They can be found on Ebay for about $80 and they have proved themselves with the amount of users that have them. I have the 1.5" kit and I love it.

I've heard of tog gun customz, they do lift kits for jeeps and other off road stuff. This is the one I'm looking at for my 06, comes with rear blocks and rear shocks to bring the back up a little bit too.
Ford Suspension Lift Kits

Here's a link to autosprings site: check them out for a simple kit to just raise the front end.

heard of them, and haven't heard of anything bad either. compared to some of the other brands on the market, they haven't been around that long

I suggest you spend the extra $10-15 more and get the Autosprings. Autosprings has been making these for the 2004+ F-150 since these trucks first debuted.
the design has been revised and is basically what everybody else on the market copies now.

I had their 2.5" front and 3" rear blocks...trust me, their quality is awesome.

Here is what I say is the best combination of leveling kits:

Autospring 2" front and ready lift rear block.

The ready lift rear block has the bump stops like factory. The ready lift front is too much money and not any better than the autospring.

I didn't find out about the ready lift rear until after I ordered my kit, but the 2 inch front and 3 inch rear, that will make an 06+ crew sit about 1/2 out of level. Just about 1/2 higher in the back with that setup. I have the AS with those measurements.
