looking for leveling kits KORE/LORENZ questions

im looking for a spring/shock combo to level the front of my truck. the only two companies i have found so far are kore and lorenz. my question is what brand springs do they use and are they good quality? i dont want to end up w/ sagging springs. i do have a plow for the truck but only use it once or twice a year, so i dont want too stiff of a spring.

are there any other companies that offer complete leveling kits for the front of my truck?

I just put the Kore leveling kit and 35s on my truck. It sits perfect and it has a nice ride. The kit cost me $565 and in includes billet sway bar drop blocks, Bilstein stainless shocks and HD coils. Im not sure who makes the coils but the garauntee them for life against sagging. The Lorenz kit is really nice too and they offer two different coils, 6% or 22% stiffer than stock, the higher one being recomended if you have a heavy bumper, snow plow, ect. I think the price is pretty close if not cheaper than Kore. Another option I've heard good things about is Thuren fabrication. They dont market an actual leveling kit, but if you give Don a call he can set you up with what you need.
You'll get a ton of opinions about which kit is better but you really cant go wrong with any of those 3. You can check out pictures of my truck leveled under "new lift, tires and wheels" in the 3rd Gen non drivetrain section.

thanks guys, i called and left a message w/ thuren yesterday and he called me back today. he was very helpful and answered all of my questions. he is now making steel spacers to level the front of our trucks and will sell them as a kit including an adjustable track bar. i like how the truck rides w/ the stock springs so i will probably go that route and go w/ the billstein 5100s and also lengthen the sway bar links.

when i talked to him he told me 450. i think thats a good price w/ including the adjustable track bar. i decided to go this way because i wont have to worry about spring sagging or problems like DW associated w/ the stock track bar being too short. plus the stock springs seem pretty good anyway. the truck barely drops w/ the plow on the front of it now. i will go w/ billstein 5100 shocks to solve the issue w/ the stock shocks topping out and as far as the sway bar links go i will either purchase drop blocks or longer links, or just lenghten mine 2" for FREE
