Superlift 2" Leveling kit

I've read all the great sticky's, do's and don't, some real good info, and I'm about to pull the trigger on the Superlift 2" level 1 kit for my 2008 f150 4x4. does anyone have any insight on how good this kit is? are there any better kits ? I'm in a rural area, lots of mud holes and dirt roads to have some fun in. ALMOST got mine stuck in a deeper that I expected mud home, but the truck climbed out eventually, I'd like the extra height and 33"s on this truck for the next time I'm in that hole

the kit I am looking at is
2 inch Lift Kit - 2004-2008 Ford F-150 4WD - with Rear Superide Shock
Thanks folks

Pete

Your driving area either requires you to go slow or go big...
I have spacers in my truck. Great for small bumps in the road, but not for play.
You'll want a kit that is designed for off road. Not spacers.

It's only $$$.

my main reason for posting was if anyone had any experience with the Superlift products ?
and I agree, and from what I've read I still needs to get a proper alignment no matter what options I choose. I had a 98 Ranger with a 3" lift off road package and had no issue fitting 31x10's and that's my main driving factor, I want the stance the 2" gives me, and the ability to get 33"s under me. This truck is not just for play, or I'd go wild, the wife @ 5 foot nothing still needs to use it load feed and hay for the horses. Thanks Truck !

Thanks...I new I forgot something. I have used them previously on a '96 F250. I had a couple of questions about the install and was able to get answers on a Saturday. Most suppliers today offer similar service.

When you said "lift", you got my hopes up. Turns out that's a level kit. I wish someone did make a 2" lift. As it is, I've got HaloLifts coilovers, nice, but I think a bit more UCA clearance would ease my mind a bit.

Wow, you did say level, guess I'm a bit more tired than I thought.

good to know Truck thanks, I have a neighbor that was willing to install the kit for me for a trade, I do some Bush-hogging for him but from what I've seen the kit looks easy to install, I wrench on my own bikes, and cars, how hard can it be -
again thanks

well there are actual lift kits I was looking at but I didn't want to go crazy with a truck we use around the ranch and only occasionally go off road mudding
this kit looks like it will give me what I need

Ya, those spacers will do exactly what you want. I had 2" spacers in myself at one time, and zero problems.
When/if you do this, make sure you pull the plug on the EPAS, and get an alignment afterwards.

Wonders never cease: the wife now tells me for 2" forget it, basically telling me to go big not not at all, so I'm looking 6" now
