Question Fender Flares, Shocks, Lift Kits

Has anyone install the Prime Designs Fender Flares? I'm like to see some pics if I can before spending the money.

Also at 24k I'm looking for some new shocks. Any recommendations? I don't do a lot of hauling or really rough driving. I still want a smooth ride with good stability.

And finally (somewhat refering to question #2) I would like to lift the truck 2 maybe 3". Some springs up front with maybe just some blocks in the rear. Any suggestions.

Thanks,
Rob

Tina,
18K miles. I put the Superlift Hydralics on for 2 weeks. They ride softer. The Ranchos are gas charged. The ride is harder but they eat up bumps with no second bounce.
I am still getting used to them. I have a bent sway bar bracket and I am taking the handling a little easy til my Explore ProComp extended sway bar links come in.

All in all, they work as advertised. $37 a piece, who can complain?

I posted you a link to "Prime Design" over on Ford-Diesel.com. I don't have it handy here but you can go over there and get it. It has pictures of fender flares.
