Default Leveling Kit Help!

I got an 04 supercab FX4 and i want to put a 2.5" leveling kit on it and i cant decide over the Skyjacker Kit or the Daystar Kit. I could really use some help on deciding on which one. i dont know which one will give me the most lift while at the same time i dont want to sacrifice comfort. so please help.

2.5" is pretty much 2.5"... Price is pretty much the deciding factor that I have seen for most people... The ride will be pretty much the same as stock as you are going to use the stock struts/springs...

I think a lot of people go for the HBS (Hell Bent Steel) because it is so much cheaper...

I have the Daystar, and I'm happy with it. I did not notice any difference in ride comfort...

I went with a Rough Country leveling kit. It came with 2.5'' front 1'' rear block and rear shocks for only $200. Maybe you want to check that out.
