leveling vs. mini

[mike89]

Was wondering peoples opinions on full leveling kits (procomp, revtek ect) that come with all 4 shocks, shackles (the works) vs. the mini spring packs which seem much cheaper and easier to install.

Thanks

I did the mini spring pack on my 02. I ended up getting an adjustable track bar and I had to add 2" to the back since I had an F-250. I would say it's a fine way to go, but I would recommend doing new shocks and the adjustable track bar which would probably end up costing around $600. You should probably get good shocks like Bilsteins or Rancho 9000's, I'm guessing the kits you looked at come with some generic shocks. I personally don't like shackle lifts. I think they look hokey and you have to lift both ends of the spring or your driveshafts won't be at the right angle, then they are sticking down below your bumper.
