Best Levels for 03' F150
I wanna get a level for my F150 and have been looking at a few options, but it has come down to either coil spring spacers, or the actual coil spring. I've been really looking into the Rough Country 2" coil spring level kit, but I wanna know what the rest of the f150 world recommends, and yes price is a factor.

Wait for pizzaman or buxton to chime in, they are much more familiar. I believe pizza is running spring tech, not sure about buxton.
no shocks in this kit, but i believe a kit is offered with shocks if you need them

Me and Buxton are both running springtech. Probably the most affordable brand out there and the springtech spindles are 3.5" so if you decide you want to go to 35's later it's easier to do because you can just add the 3" coils with the aftermarket arms. Opposed to the 3" rough country spindles which not only would you need the coils and the arms but you'd probably have to do a body lift also because 6" is just barely not enough for 35's where with 6.5" it's a lot better fit because you need very minor trimming if any.
If you go with the spindles I'd go with somewhere around a 1-1.5" block depending on what height spindle you get to make it level. And with the spindles you'll need stock length shocks so those are little cheaper than lifted height applications. Shock wise I'd go with the procomp 9000's, rancho 9000's or the bilstein hd's since it'll require stock height ones.
Since you'll be tearing down the front end anyways to do the install no matter what form of level you decide on I'd plan on replacing upper/lower balljoints and the outer tie rods. If they're about 70k old it's most likely time for them anyways and it'll make install a whole lot easier if your not worried about damaging the old ones to reuse them.
