Ya know.... the coilovers are adjustable as to ride height. So you don't really "need" the leveling kit. That is, unless you want to adjust them higher AND use a leveling kit.....that would put some bad angles on the axles shaft I would imagine though.
The coilovers are a rougher ride than stock though, they're a little stiffer.
If you are going to use a leveling kit up front, what are you using to bring the back up? (I would go with some new leaf springs..)
The kit alone will leave the rear about an inch lower. So with a 2½" leveling kit on the front, you're gonna be draggin' a$$ by 3½ inches.

I am open for suggestions. AAL? Can some one give me the pros and cons? Also Bags are a possibility if they do not cost to much.

I can assure the same, they are loud but ride very good.

I've got about 8,000 miles on my 37x13.50R20s with barely any wear.

Most people use an AAL yes.
The best would be to get a new set of leaf springs and eliminate the blocks all together.

I think I might do that any good websites/brands that sell leafsprings because I am going to buy the lift online.

The rear springs which are on my truck are BDS with a little modification because I have 1/2 the leveling spacer up front as well. If you want to do the same with the leveling kit you would need to reuse your factory 2" block along with the leaf springs but if there is no leveling kit then you'd be all springs. Here's the link http://www.generalspringkc.com/lift_...150_04-06.html

The BDS springs are actually listed under the Fabtech section as an option

Edit: Here's a link to my BDS post with pics a while back https://www.f150online.com/forums/sh...r+leaf+springs
