Has anyone seen or used the BDS 2.5" leveling kit on their F150? http://bds-suspension.com/kit-customizer?kid=572H
I'm curious to know what the spacer does that goes between the spring and the upper mount. If this would make for better or worse ride. Pretty inexpensive too.

I do understand coilovers would ride better.

I've posted here before but really like this picture I took today of my 18 Leadfoot.

Has anyone used a spacer in combination with the fox 2.0 or 2.5 coil-overs? Say the fox 2.0's set at a lower setting with a smaller spacer. Seems like this would be a less expensive route compared to the Halo Lifts 3" kit, even when you add UCA's into the overall cost.
Also, has anyone heard of Freedom Off-road? https://www.freedomoffroadusa.com/249047/12/0/823/fo-f704fu-fo-ford-f150-04-14-front-upper-arm.html Looks like they make UCA's that are reasonably affordable ($360) compared to some of the other sites that start at around $550.

2.5” level, still on factory 275/55/20 tires. Sounds silly I know, but I have no idea what brand the level kit is. I just asked the dealer to level it, before I picked it up. They told me the heighth of the kit and I liked the look...so, I forgot to ask what brand it was.
