It took some time but found the best price at the site below, $197 for the a front pair if you just want to level or $357.80 for the set of 4 and shipping is free it says! This is for a 2011 FX-4 Supercrew.

Are these on backorder? My shop said 367.00 plus install, but advised they are on backorder.

No problem, that PDF sealed my decision to go with the 5100's too. I was on the ropes over the shocks or the leveling kits selling for less than a $100 but had heard a lot of problems with the leveling kits.
