There are simply too many designs and choices for a simple 2" leveling kit for my new 09 F150 4x4. I am sure this has been debated, but can anyone tell me the differences between using coil over spring, spacers, plastic v. metal etc? Who makes the best kit that does not change smooth ride quality? airspring, ready lift, sky jacker, daystar? Thanks for the help.

 

I guess the 0-2" bilsteins are supposed to be good. I myself am looking to add them to my 6" BDS. More coin than just a spacer but i think in the end you will be happier.

 

Most of the bolt on spacers are basically the same. However some are 4 times the price of identical kits. I'd suggest the Autospring kit.

 

If you get the bolt on spacers definitly go with the Hell Bent Steel one. It cost $69 and is just as good as the rest. I have one and have had no trouble at all with it.

 

if you want good shock that will also level bilstein is great, or autospring is good as stated above

 

X2^^ davids truck drives amazing w/ those bilsteins. i didn't even feel bumps going down a trail when i was driving his truck.

as everyone said Autospring is the cheapest and its the most used kit on here

 

what is the difference then between the autospring spacer set, and the readylift leveling kit? is the readylift better if cost not a concern?

 

there is no purpose in spending more money on a leveling kit if your getting a metal puck. one metal puck is not going to ride differeant than another metal puck.

its shoving a piece of metal between the cil bucket and the coil assembly.

i would say if your going to level your truck get bilstein struts in there.

 

so what you are saying go with bilstein struts instead of spacer/leveling kit?

 

yes 100%

 

Go with Auto Spring i have had it for over a year now and no problems what so ever.

 

so is this right you can get struts to raise the front end or you can get a leveling kit?
