Truxxx or Daystar?

Which leveling kit would you suggest for my new 2005 F150 supercrew 4x2?
My local shop said the truxxx was 500 bucks including install? What would be a good price on the daystar installed, (i know the daystar is around$129 for the parts).

Which would have better durability as far as keeping alignment straight, compliant stock ride?

What's the price breakdown on the Truxx, parts/labor? You'll find plenty of folks here who like both the daystar and the autospring but I haven't heard much about truxx.

This is from the web site, it also says they retail for over $300. Are they any better than daystars or autosprings? Also, the link above is broke, try this Truxxx lift

I like my Daystar, no problems at all! I bought it off ebay for $80 and installed myself. The total cost for evrything, parts labor and alignment was only $120.

Ride is good and it sure looks a lot better!

If you buy the autospring you can install it yourself in about 2 1/2 hours. You may need a little help to do some of the stuff but it's the cheapest one to buy. It's basically the same thing as the truxx lift. Heres a pic before I installed mine.



I think it was 120 shipped plus 45 dollar alignment=165.00
