check out the carli thread in the suspension forum......lots of reviews on their products in that thread.
ICON
cant go wrong
Contact Trucktoyzperformance, get an Icon kit with One Up Offroad front ALA arms and traction bars if you can swing it.
I got mine thru SoCal Supertrucks and couldn't be happier with it.
F350 Leveled w/ Icon springs and track bar combined with King shocks.

Nicest riding 1 ton truck I've ever been in.
Do a 4", most leveling kits do not provide radius arm drop brackets or track bar brackets to get things in proper geometry. Meaning a crappy driving and riding truck. Bds icon are the most popular. There are also other good ones out there. Just make sure you get everything right or it will drive like ****.

yeah do 4-4.5 inch kit they normally provide a much better ride and more complete kit than any 1-3 inch leveling kit.
Icon 4.5" is awesome. Traction bars were also mentioned in an earlier reply but my experience so far with this setup is that they are not needed if the truck is not tuned for more HP. Your results may vary, though.
Lets start with what year your truck is and what you're looking to accomplish with the suspension system. How do you drive? Are you looking for a better ride or just taller ride height?
I want 4" lift,but dont want front higher then back. Right now front is about 3/4-1" lower then back,and far as I know if I do 4.5" lift,front will end up higher?Unless i get a 4" lift somewhere,BDS?

its a 2011 ccsb 4wd that i tow a 10k lb travel trailer with and occasionally use for daily driving. I am interested in increasing ride quality (although the factory ride is not bad), making it a little taller without affecting my towing.

so far i am liking both ICON and Carli set ups but looking for what others have done

thanks all

Depending on what size wheel/tire combo you plan to run you may be fine with 2.5" kit. Pure Performance has few nice 2.5" kits out and Carli should be introducing theirs very soon now.
