2.5 inch level questions

Emery19 · Mar 30, 2014

Alright, so spring is here, time to get the truck back on the road. it needs tires, I have it narrowed down to Toyo or Nitto MT's. 35x12.5 variety..

Anyways I want to level the front of my truck before I put the tires on.

truck specs
2008 F-350 bone stock. plow prep package, and im pretty sure the stiffest/heaviest springs that Ford offers.

Looking at 2.5 for the front. In a perfect world I'd run an Icon set up. Unfortunately I'm not looking at blowing tons of money, i do have a budget.

This is the kit i'm looking at. Ready Lift 2.5

any other suggestions? i know its probably not the kit everyone would run, but the truck isn't a daily, i have my subaru for that. and well, tires aren't cheap. any other budget friendly suggests y'all might have would be great. I'm kinda a noob when it comes to solid axle suspension. I know icon makes a kit thats just the coils, but i know I need to do something about my track bar, oh well. any suggestions would be appreciated guys. i did search a little but couldnt find much.

You'll want shocks as well.

Readylift will be fine. No Issues.

Ive always just ran bottom coil mount spacers - pmf sells them. Mine are from Top Gun customz

The ready lift kit comes with shock extensions, and you can get the one with the track bar bracket as well.

I ran the kit that you linked on my 08 when I first got it. It was a great kit for the money. Rode pretty much like stock, maybe just a touch stiffer. And that was with the stock shocks and the shock extension brackets.

That's what I'd recommend if you're trying to do it on a budget, its more of a complete kit than just a spacer.

awesome, thanks for the responses guys, i really appreciate it. good to know! i'll probably go through with it then, I know ill need new shocks eventually, so this will work with the extensions until i pick up some shocks. Its also good to hear people have run this before. Looks like this will be the way I go because it fits what i'm looking for
