I have overloads on the back of my stock 2000 f250 so the back is about 4" higher than the front. i was thinking of jus raising the front to match the back a little better so i was wondering what the best option was. 2.5 to 3 inches of lift in the front would be good enough. any suggestions on a leveling kit? thanks

 

Any of the leveling kits are fine. The ones that replace the front and rear spring mounting points are nice because they keep the factory ride. You can also look for what is called a "mini spring pack"...

Those work pretty good.

 

also i believe ride tech or firestone makes an air bag that goes in the factory coil spring and you just add air. i think these are under 100 bucks too...let me know if you get that and how it works!

 

That would work... If you have a 2wd.

 

ok thanks im looking at the tuff country 2.5" 2.5" 00-04 Ford F250/F350 Super Duty (Diesel) Leveling Lift Kit @Top Gun Customz ... but curious if theres anything cheaper?

 

I'm running a similar kit that you posted plus the shackle/hanger setup in the front:

2.5" 99-04 Ford F250/F350 Super Duty Hanger Lift Kit @Top Gun Customz

I would go with the shackle/hangers first to keep the stock spring rate if that matters to you.

 

ok what about the mini spring packs? those any good? FORD SUPERDUTY F250-F350 1999-04 LEVELING LIFT KIT 3.0" | eBay

 

top guns custom is a great ebay dealer i bought alot of stuff from them for a great price

 

i put oversized shackles on mine for awhile i just hate how it rides over bumps at high speeds with them.

 

I installed 3950# code X+ springs and it brought up my nose about 2.5 - 3.0" compared to my OEM's with ~285k miles.
They definitely ride stiffer, but one thing for sure with any setup is your shocks dictate your ride.
When my 9000Xl's are on 1-10(softest setting) I have no trouble going off road at a reasonably high speed but rides like soft coils on the pavement with some pretty good body roll.
Setting 10-10(stiffest setting) I can feel every rock and crack in the road and corners like a sports car but feels like there's no suspension off road.
