Just got a 22 F250 and was going back and forth on leveling kits. I had just the ready lift 2.5” spacers and fox 2.0 shocks on my 19 and ride was horrible. I found a couple different kits that come with replacement springs and fox shocks or icon shocks for all four corners. They’re both priced similar other than the one that comes with fox shocks has a trac bar relocation bracket with it and the one with icon shocks does not. The kit that comes with the fox shocks has BDS springs and the one with icon shocks has icon springs?

Couple questions….
1. Which shocks would be would give me the best ride?
2. Is the trac bar relocation bracket needed?
3. Will I have to add any sort of taller rear block?

Mainah!
The Icons with coils should be your best ride.

That said, I did the 2.5" Readylift Puck style (already had plow springs) and Bilstein 5100s and I think it rides great. If you're looking for a plush 1/2 ton IFS ride.... I think you'll be disappointed no matter what.

Fox makes a great shock but for the cost and short service life I'd pass.

And if you don't use the track bar relocation bracket you'll need an adjustable track bar. Which isn't a bad idea since the OEM ones seem to be a weak point causing death wobble.

As far as rear block... I did Readylifts 4" (over stock 2") and carrier bearing spacer. Easy enough install but I think I'll go back to the factory 2" this summer, really didn't need the lift in the rear, and with airbags it'll never squat. JMO.
