prob at least get you some Bilstein 5100's
did the leveling kit just put spacers on top of the coils?
Bilstein actually has a leveling kit now for the F250 that looks pretty sweet.

new sway bar bushings make a big difference too.

Bilstein 5100s or Icon shocks.

Bilstein or Icon coils, they are progressive rate coils so, the initial travel is actually softer than stock coils.

But, since it looks like you have a snow plow, I would recommend keeping your current setup and just upgrading the shocks.
Unless you don't drive around with the plow and only do your driveway and then unhook....then you could do the new coils.

We sell both Bilstein 5100s and Icon shocks.
The benefit of the Icons, for your application, is that they have clear powder coated bodies and they use nitro steel shafts which are harder than chrome and last longer under salt spray tests.


Let me know if you have any questions.
