2.5 Lift kit ?

Just bought a 05 4x4 SCREW and wanted to level it up. I've been reading the pros, cons and opinions for the different kits. I wanted to know if anyone had any experiences with the 2.5 lift kit from Top Gun Customz. They are selling their kits on ebay or should I consider another brand?

I believe they are basically the same as the Autospring kit. Aren't they a one piece spacer also? WHat are they selling for?

It says they are a new patent pending design, does not require a spring compressor and made of 1/2 laser cut steel. If you type in "F-150 2.5 lift kit free shipping" on ebay it should pull it right up. Appreciate the quick response!

I have also been looking at leveling lifts for my `04 FX4 SCREW. The TG unit goes on top of the strut. The polyurethane and aluminum units appear to go at the top of the coil spring.

What are the pros and cons of each type of lift?

Thanks!

Sounds like the Autospring lift. The advantage of these leveling kits is ease of installation. The two piece kits require that you remove the coilspring from the shock and add a spacer to the spring, then add the remaining spacer on top of the coilover shock assembly. Most kits run around $100. What does the Top Gunz kit cost?

They are $99.99 with free shipping. They look similar to the AutoSpring. Also saw some called the EZ-Lift that were machined from aluminum for $121 (with shipping).

They all do the same thing.
