Few questions

I've got an 06 king ranch 4X4 6.0 PSD

I've got a leveling kit in the front (spacers) and blocks in the rear. I want a little more height in the front.

I found these springs and I am curious if they will fit with no problem with the spacers or having to change anything else?

My other question is I'd like to get a train horn set up. Any reccomendations, and estimates on price of installation?

Thank you guys for the feedback. I couldn't find to much info on the lift in the front.

How thick are the spacers you currently have? If they are only 1", then you might be able to add those coils. But if they are already 2" or 2.5" which is mostly likely, then adding another simple kit is going to cause you problems with suspension geometry I think. There is a reason why they don't make 4" spacers, ya know?

I'll leave the train horn question to others.

I bought the truck used with them, so not positive on the specs.. but they look to be 2-2.5 spacers.

Heres a picture of my set up right now, sorry for the big picture.

I think you're right. I would not add leveling springs on top of that. You would need a 4" lift kit, and ditch the spacers.

How about just throwin this on the front?
Ford Super Duty Suspension Lift Kit

I'm looking to do something cheap, not bad quality, but i don't have a lot of money to spend on this and only want a little bit more lift in the front.

any other lift kits you can reccomend that would be somewhat cheap and not very big? i have brand new 33'' open country MT's so not looking to buy new bigger tires, going to stick with a small lift till i get the $$ for new tires and a big lift.

I don't have any particular kit to recommend. But I wonder why you would buy a 3" kit when you already have a 2" or 2.5" spacer. With a powerstroke, you might find you didn't gain anything. I suggested 4" based on you already having 2.5" and were interested in another 1.5". You might want to call Roughcountry and ask their opinion. Because it would suck to spend $500 and find you only gained 1/2", right?
