2 inch autospring. They sell them on eBay. I say 2 inch as Ford changed the rear leaf packs in 06 and don't have as much rake as the 04-05 models. U can also measure and see what the difference is and go from there. 2.5 may leave u a little nose high, but if you're okay with that then go for it.

I went with the Bilstein, I figured at 100k I needed shocks anyways. I'll post pics as soon as they are installed. My 07 FX4 SCAB with the 20" wheels measured 36.5 in the front 39.5 in the rear from garage floor to bottom fender. I'll also have 275/65/20 tires too...

Hbs has 2.5 or 3 inch for around 70 bucks. That's what I have and I've had no problems! Great quality kit.

Will it do anything to the way it drives? Any shaking or gas mileage or make ride a lot bumpier?

I have a 3 inch level and there's no shaking but it is a rougher ride. And you have to realize that when you raise the front 3 inches it's not as aerodynamic as before so yea it hurt the mpg's some
