Default HBS leveling kit ????

I recently bought a 2007 ext cab 4wd f150. I was wondering which leveling kit was the best. I am leaning toward the HBS 3''. Is this a good kit? I also am looking at a rear add-a-leaf. I plan on running 35 inch tires. I plan on ordering the kit and tires/wheels in the next couple of days so any imput would be great.

yep, hbs is the way to go. i, along with many others, only have good things to say about them. i wouldnt go above 2.5" though, anything higher youre putting too much stress on the components.

if you want to lift the back a little, go with blocks over the add a leaf, for some kits are ridiculously stupid hard to install. the blocks take 10 min each.

i would go autosprings it like 10-20 bucks more and it has the offset design so your upper control arm wont hit your coil springs at max deflection, and i agree with the 2.5"

I have the hbs 3". I am pretty certain that no one can prove that anything more than the 3" causes any problems. If they can,great. My friend has the 3"hbs also. Going on 105k miles with no suspension issues at all.
