Super Duty Front; Leaf Spring Leveling Kit

I'm in the process of look to upgrade my front springs. On airliftcompany.com they have Super Duty Front; Leaf Spring Leveling Kit with up to 5000 lbs. of Leveling Capacity. So question is which would be better to upgrade the spring to v or u code or put the Leveling Kit on. I’m have bags in the rear. if it matters I drive about 1000 miles a week but on the weekends pull a TT or horse trail.

Thanks

I vote for V codes BIG TIME. Best mod I have done to both X's and you can normally pick them up cheap or free if you look around.

Re: Super Duty Front; Leaf Spring Leveling Kit

I found both pair from my local powerstroke club. V code springs are factory in F350s and come in some F250s with I think the camper package. I have seen several on this board, on ebay and other places but the shipping can be expensive. You can also check with the local 4wheelpartswholesalers store as they will watch for parts for you. At least my store has.
Thanks
Dennis
