Leveling kit help asap

My grandparents came in town there leaving tomarrow and i was showing them what i wanted to do to my '04 stx. 4x2 I told them i wanted to level it out and get bigger rims and tires i kept talking (bugging) them about it until they said if i could find the leveling kit i wanted before they left they would buy/order it for me so i really need help by tonight if someone can. I want to make it exactly level i dont want the back higher than the front at all i would rather have the front higher then the back if i have to i dont know what kits are for the stx's because they arent all clear and i am not sure exactly how much of a lift a spacer of a certain size will give beavers seems to set a little low in the front in this pic i saw this link http://www.truxxx.com/ford_products/..._level_kit.htm but not many people on these forums seem to have heard much about them. then theres the autosprings i just dont know much about trucks but i do know when someone offers to buy you something you should jump on it.

I can take some pics of the sub box and amp mount. Wiring ran pretty easily in the valley under the step railings. I have a dual 10" sub box too, but the amp I needed to push the two 10"s wouldn't fit under the passenger front seat. So I stayed witht eh single 10", and have the amp right next to it, underneath the 60 portion of the rear seat.

I'm just trying to figure out why you would buy a kit that costs 200.00 more then other kits that do the same thing and allow you to run the same size tires as the kit's that cost 200.00 less?

Yes. I'm going with the 2.5" on my 2wd XLT which is basically the same truck as yours.

Hey that truck looks familiar!

I'm getting ready to sell my leveling kit (2.75" Protech) since my suspension lift is in progress. Let me know if you have interest in a used one.

Just FYI, the guy I got my lift from, www.protechezlift.com - has the 3" level kit to really make it even, but recommended the 2.75" so that ride quality was not affected.
