I've got an '02 F250 7.3 PS. I'm running 35's on it and was wondering what size leveling kit guys are using, what brand and are you happy with it? I would rather do a leveling kit instead of a complete lift, but if the prices are pretty close, might as well lift it.

The leveling kit from Les Schwabs (tough country) rides pretty decent and its not too expensive.

Beware tho, a leveling kit may have the rear squatting when towing a load.

The Donahoe stuff is pretty dope. Check it out.

I have a BDS on mine 05 f350. I had the same on my 2000 f350. With our new trailer is squats a little more than I like.

I have the Pro Comp on my 250. Its rides OK, I did airbags in the rear to level it out. I needed them when towing even with a WD hitch setup. I would recommend going with a higher end kit. I am going to switch to bilstein shocks in the front to help with the ride.

I would of went with a hanger kit but I had a busted front leaf.

Good Luck,

I run a procomp on my 04 F-350. It rides better than the add a leaf on my 99 F-250 did.

I used x code springs, lifted about 1.5 over my stock 250 (u codes) the rear sits about .5 higher now. Could easily swap a zero rate in for 3/4 to 1" and it would. These springs with some better shocks (got the ones from cageoffroad.com for a great price) and this thing rides GREAT. The nice thing is, the x codes are facory, and most (or all) ford techs wont really take notice of it, if it goes in for anything related to warranty.
