Leveling kit question?

I am thinking of installing a leveling kit. I don't like the way that my front end on my 04 FX4 Scab sits lower than the rear.

My question is which kit is best? Does it affect the ride or handling? Also what is the ballpark cost of this installed? Also will it make a noticable difference in the appearance?

Geo,
So you have about $200 invested?
And you are happy with it? does it bring the front end almost level now?

dcnitz,

Looks good. What did the Daystar kit cost you? I love the all white paint scheme. That was what I wanted, but I ended up with all silver (my second choice) when someone canceled their order.

Does anyone know if the Daystar kit affects your warranty at all?

Where did you guys get your DayStar kits? I hate buying stuff on eBay. Anyone buy a Daystar kit from a online store, if so which one?

Also, does anyone know the answer to Basham's question of as to whether or not it affect warranty??

Nitz, very nice look and well balanced. I can not quite tell if those Weld wheels make your tire stick outside the fender wells. Do they and what was the offset on the Welds. What rim did you actually order from Weld and how much? Does your acceleration suffer much with the 33's (3.73 or 3.55 gears)?

Thanks. Look great.
