well my hybrid late 99 engine, early 99 suspension needs a level kit. I can't stand the almost 4in difference in front/rear height...
I have heard of the following and curious to thoughts on which route I should go:
1. get the $80 shackles from ebay
-cheap but easy and probably best to get an adjustable bar
2. get the $150 little mini leafs from ebay r maxxlift

3. try to find the procomp level leafs and an adjustable track bar
-I found them on summit but over $150 a piece not inclusing shipping or the adjustable bar so over $500 in parts there...
4. x code springs, with new hardware and adjustable bar
-they seem expensive plus the labor I still should get new hardware, adjustable bar and shocks etc
5. the most complete kit Ive found so far is also by maxxlift
link here: 3" MAXX-LIFT KIT LB1999-2004 F250/F350 4x4 TRUCKS
*under $400 even with the special bolts and after drilling my truck for the newer style bar.
6. (added dec 7th) PMF makes a drop hangar kit and another company does but after seeing some pictures the look isn't bad but not for me esp for around the same price etc.
I can find 4in and plus complete left kits but all I want is a level kit. I have ZERO desire for 315/75r16 (metric 35 common size). I just want to go with the traditional 285/75r16 or maybe the harder to find 255/85r16 for a taller/skinnier tire.
if anyone has actually used the maxx-lift spring kit im interested in quality or life span. I am just not selling my truck. I have looked and looked for a 4dr but my current rig as much as the late engine, early suspension is a pain is the perfect truck for me.
thanks again.
I know some are running the procomp springs buts they are $$$ and sold individually now.
