Default Leveling Kit question

I put a spacer leveling kit in my truck a few months ago, its fine but my suspension is so saggy that my truck still isnt level. So im looking to do it Right this time. Im going to do a spring leveling kit but im not sure what the best brand is. If someone could just point me in the right direction with a link that would be much appreciated.

1.5" Rough Country springs. They are called rough country for a reason... the springs they make are STIFF

So they are going to be a bitch to compress and stick back in there? Awesome!

You don't need to compress then to get then in you simply unbuilt and pry. I would look into the f250 spring swap. That's what i did. 75 bucks for the springs and another 200 for all 6 shocks and mine is level and rides good.plus alignment helped too

You could just get stock springs... since you have a spacer already you're going to come out at F250 spring height or higher
