Alright guys I've finally got my hands on a few bucks and want to upgrade my suspension a bit. What I'm looking for is a level look. I currently have a leveling kit up front but i want to change it out with a nice adjustable shock to keep it level. I also want to add a leaf in the back cause i pull a 8000 lb trailor which puts alot of weight on the back and makes it sit real low. If anyone knows of a single kit that'll fulfill al these needs that would be great or what individual parts i would need and where to get them. 2006 F150 XLT 5.4
Thank You

 

I'd suggest the Bilstien shocks up front. Out back, the best bet would be a set of airbags.

 

Yeah i was looking at the bilstiens. The 5100 adjustable right? And i'm just looking to stiffen up the back a bit and don't think i can afford air bags. I found this kit. http://www.4wheelparts.com/Lift-Kits...pn=SKYF4321K-P Has anyone ever tried it or heard of it? It also says that its a 3" lift but that seems extreme in the front and mess up my ball joints.

 

Yep, the 3 inch Skyjacker creates some severe ball joints angles. I'd stay away from it.

 

yeah firgured as much. how much do the bilstiens run? and how hard is the install for an add a lead?

 

alright well for some reason it didn't make sense to me that skyjacker would make only a 3 in lift for these trucks knowing it would do damage to the ball joints so i decided why not do some research. What i found out is that with that kit it is adjustable with settings at 1" lift 2" and 3" where you add ringlets to the strut to adjust the height. Just so everyone else knows here is a link to the manual that shows how its done http://www.skyjacker.com/image/search/pdf/F432STK.pdf


now has anyone replaced there shocks with skyjackers? how is the change in ride?
