Suggetions on Shocks and Leveling Kit
 
I have some questions I'm sure ya'll could point me in the right directions on. I have a 2003 F150 XL 4x2 4.2L Supercab. It have no big mods to it at this time. I have 16x8 ProComp Steel RockCrawl Black rims, wraped with 285/65/R16 BFG ATs. I have air bags on the rear suspension for a smother ride and to help with heavy loads. My questions are:

1)What are some good shocks for the front? Ones that will work later after installing a leveling kit and before it's instaled. I want ones a little beefy but not an arm and a leg.

2) What's a good brand for a leveling kit?

3)What's a good price for the front shocks in question 1?

4)What's a good price for a leveling kit in question 2?

5)What's size of leveling kit?


Thanks for your time.

I'd suggest Bilstien shocks and a Daystar leveling kit. With the leveling kit, you are limited to 2 inches of lift. Any more and you will not be able to get the alignment within specs without longer upper control arms. I'm not sure on cost.

Hey man, just did the same thing with my truck. I used a Rough Country leveling coil. I took it to get aligned and it was out by 3 degrees. They used a cam kit and fixed the problem. The coils cost about 135. I also put a pro comp aal in the rear, cost $150. The coils ride like factory, or you can go the spacer route. A Daystar spacer cost b/t $89 and $100, depending where you get them from. My sig has the pic before the aal. I am gonna update the pic soon to my new and improved ride.
