Default Level kit??

2008 f150 crew 5.4 4x4. I currently have a strut extension but want to put a full strut level kit. I am currently stuck between a Rancho readylift which is complete or a Rough Country strut which uses my factory spring. I drive 400-500 highway per week and hit the off roads the weekends. Which is better? I am about 123000 miles.

I ran the Rancho Quicklifts on my 07 paired wit hRS-9000XL's, absolutely loved them. They're nice because you don't have to mess with decompressing springs. Plus, the valving is easily adjusted with a ****. They ride smooth, and take out a lot of body roll. Definitely wasn't easy on the suspension, and they held up VERY well.

If you are going to use your truck off-road, then you should prob get a lift kit that has new shocks etc.

This week I ordered and received HaloLifts Boss Coilovers to level my 04. I have not had a chance to put them on yet, but dealing with Alex was great. Check them out.http://www.halolifts.com/2004-2008-H...rs-_p_175.html

Those were 35x12.5 Federal Couragia MT's, and I was running 1.5" spacers. Just had to cut out some plastic.

I put Bilstein 5100 shocks on mine to level it.

Here it is with 325/50r22's and 1.5" spacers

I put the Rancho Quiklift struts on and am really enjoying them. Put some 315/70/17 BFG ATs on Vision 17s. No rubbing, no spacers, no trimming.
