Lift Kit Question

Hello. I am researching a lift kit for my 2004 F-350 and I think I am sold on either the Superlift or the Rancho. I just have a few questions.

1- Will my truck sit completely level with either of these kits. I have seen a few lifted in my area and some are level and some still sit higher in the rear.

2- Should I upgrade the shocks or just stay with the ones that come in the kits?

3- Will I need any additional hardware... ie brake line extensions, pitman arm and what not?

I am not using this to go off roading, strictly for looks. Thanks for any input.

I'd run 37's on an SD. A friend has 315's with a 4" trailmaster and they look like crap. They are fat and short, even he agree's. He will be going with 37's.

Go with the SKY JACKER SOFT RIDE it is the best lift kit and best ride availability . I have used all of them on diffrent trucks and sky jacker is the best.It will cost more but you will enjoy the nice ride instead of of the others.Use rancho 9000 shocks and you will be very happy.I have a 12 inch lift on my king ranch f - 250 with 40 toyos with 456 gears and love it and it does ride just as good as stock.
