Need some advice...

I want to put a leveling kit on my truck, but I'm not really sure what I should be looking for. My goal is to be able to get 35's to clear without rubbing. I've heard that a 2.5" kit is good enough for this. Can anyone clarify.

If it is, which kit seems (in your opinion) to be the best?

Truck is an 04 F350 Crew Cab, Long Bed

Sorry if this is in the wrong section. I figured if I should ask anybody, it should be you guys.

Thanks

They use drop brackets and retain the stock spring components. Very stout system but if I had to do it again I would look into something else. You can go to FabTech and check out what they have to offer.

My system is the 3.5 kit which FabTech states is for 33 inch tires now, I use 35's with no problem. The 5.5 replaces the front spring and replaces the rear spring block to level your ride. That would be my choice if I were doing it again. The kit looks complete with a new drop arm.

You have many suspension companies, this is just one option.
