leveling kits

I have a 2000 ford dually crew cab with a v-10 and I want to install a leveling kit, does anybody know what kit that I should get, and where to find them to order on the internet? I want quality not something that will come apart going down the interstate.

2wd or 4x4?
If 2wd, I don't know of any leveling kits available.

If 4x4, read on:
I would go with the Edge 3" leveling kit for your truck. They are the strongest, best built kits on the market.
You can access two online distributors from Donahoe Racing's Web Page Or I can supply the name of a very good distributor to deal with mail order but you would have to call him.

Welcome to the site.

Hope this helps.

Thank you, my truck is a 4x4, I am having some problems gaining access to the website you refered, but I would apreciate it if you could give me a number to call so I can order the kit. You said this is a really strong kit, is it an add a leaf? And what makes this kit different from the others?

It raises the front using hangers and boxed shackles. It also includes custom valved nickel plated Bilstein 5100 series shocks which are the best in my opinion. The shocks are what make it ride better than stock. Other kits that use add a leafs or replacement leaf packs make the ride a little harsh.
If you click on the link, then click on dial up or dsl depending on what you have, the click where it says THE EDGE, and then products.
I will send you a private message with the contact info of the distributor that I use.


Hope this helps.

DC Special,

You seem pretty gung hoh on the Edge system. Why is that? Do you have the system yourself? Do you install lifts? Let us know some background for your opinion.

thanks,

Scott

Scott,
Well, when I first did my truck I didn't know anything. I was very, very unhappy with my choice in products So, I started to do some research on all of the lift kits available for the SDs. Read as much as I could, talked to a lot of shops, and was lucky enough to meet a few people who are involved with high quality lifts all the time. From what I had read on my own, my thoughts were that if any one is looking for the best "kit" available it is without a doubt the Edge systems. And after talking to the shop owners and some others who are involved in the industry they confirmed that.
I then tried to ride in as many lift kits as possible, Edge road the best by far. And I'm sure you have seen the pics of their components that show their size and strength compared to other companies.
I currently am waiting to get my Edge lift until I see if a buddy of mine is bothered by the police for frame height issues here. Depending on the outcome I will either run 12.5" Edge lift or 8" Edge lift to stay legal.
I learned the hard way that Edge was the best, I wish I would have known sooner so as not to waste my money on other companies products.

Hope that answers your questions.
