Looks like a relatively better option than just the coil spacers. Can be adjusted to 9 different settings to suit your application, or where you're driving that day. Any of you gents rolling on this as a leveling kit? Or should I be the OB guinea pig?

ETA: Bilstein doesn't have 5100s out for the new f150 yet.

I bought the Bilstein adjustable for my z71.

1.5 inch lift. Left the rear stock. Very pleased.

This - get a set of 5100s and use your factory coils

I'm going with these my next go around. Have the Bilstein's on my '13 F150 at the highest level and just put on a set of 285/75/18 Toyo RT's. Love the look and no rubbing. Anxious to see how these tires perform.

Running the 5100 lift on my Tacoma right now. No complaints at all. But the Quick lift is about $350 total, and is bolt-in installation.

I've heard they're called "quick sags" and they supposedly don't last very long.

Like, 2 hours maybe. What took the longest doing my Tacoma 5100 Toytec lift was 1. Compressing the springs to assemble the strut. 2. Adding the rear leaf. This is an entire unit that slips in:

Plenty of people running these to level their trucks, BUT the better option are the Bilstein 5100s as mentioned. What kind truck are you wanting to put these on? If it's a full size id recommend the Bilsteins or just your standard leveling kit spacers.

2016 SuperCrew F150.

Where's the best place to shop the 5100s? Got my last kit from Toytec, but of course they're a Toyota only dealer.

Check out F150lifts.com. They've been making some very good F150 kits for the last 5 or 6 years. If I were you I would just go with a 2" front level and forget it. Ride won't change at all and you can change your shocks when they're actually old and need replacement. No sense in swapping out basically new shocks.

Eta: if I bought a new truck is be tempted to buy the BOSS coilover kit. Adjustable 0-3". $900 though as opposed to about $100 for a standard spacer kit.

I went the boss coilover route on my 2012. The front end before I put them on was a little soft when making turns now it's a little stiff.

Well made product, would buy again. Took a few hours I'm not as good as I used to be at that.

I think the '14+ all use the same suspension, even on the new body style don't quote me on that though.
