Another Front Spring Option?

I was browsing my Summit magazine the other day and found this, Summit Racing SUM-G781 - Summit Racing® Front Suspension Leveling Kits - Overview - SummitRacing.com Has anyone tried these? I'll need to upgrade in the near future but I'm weighing my options. Any thoughts?

As a side note, I recently bought Powerslot Cryo Rotors and Hawk pads from Summit, they matched the internet prices I found and I saved about $220 from their original prices...shipped to my door was $612 for all 4 rotors and front/rear pads.

Thank you.

I used a set of Rough Country 7.3 leveling springs (just a single leaf) in the front of my V10 EX...That was good for right at 2 inches of lift...
I also used a set of late model dodge lift blocks in the rear about 1.5 inches taller than the stock blocks.....Just right for a set of 295/70/17s

I've used that kit in conjunction with a set of V-code F-250 springs. That kit is made by Tuff-country for summit. The part numbers on the spring packs are Tuff-country numbers... nice kit. I wrote a thread here: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/9...-4-5-lift.html

Keep in mind that kit is not intended for the Excursion springs which are essentially reverse arched. That is why I coupled it with the V-codes, and as you can see it gave me big lift IMO... more than I expected! (I'm not complaining!!! )

Thanks for pointing that out, I hadn't considered it.
