Need some advice on leveling my f250. I was to go with a cheaper leveling system. Just for looks mainly. My question is to you guys that have done this is
1. Do you go with the coils or blocks??
2. Will I need longer shocks for a 2.0" or 2.5" kit?
3. Will I have to buy a adjustable track bar or track bar relocator?

1. I've done both. My '05 was a 5.4 with 2 1/2" front spacers, rear blocks and Bilstien shocks. On my '15 I have 2 1/2" Carli springs and rear blocks with Bilstien shocks. While it's a bit of an apples to oranges comparison, the Carli springs are hands down a better option.
2. Yes - I'd go with Bilstien or Fox. Most everyone that has had both say to go with Fox.
3. It would definitely be best, but not absolutely required for 2 1/2". You can always add it later. I didn't touch it on my '05 and drove it like that 80,000 miles. I didn't notice any weird handling or tire wear, but I never asked anyone to follow me to see if it was crabbing either. Like I said, definitely best to have it. I added the relocation bracket on my '15, and it looks like the front axle is directly in line with the rear, as far as I can tell. Again, I haven't asked anyone to follow me to see if it is crabbing.

have you measured the rake on your truck? My '16 sits about .25" higher in the rear. If my auxiliary tank is full and I've got the chainsaw a couple other things in the back, it's perfectly level. Would I consider a leveling kit? Not for .25" of "lift".

regardless of coils or blocks, you will need longer shocks or shock extension brackets (bad idea). Any amount of lift will move your axle to the drivers side. it is up to you whether you live with it or not.
