Default AS 1 1/2 inch level-Before & After

Had the level done a few days ago and had 20% tint put on today on front
windows. I like the looks so much better now.

Who would have thought an 1.5" will make so much of a difference

Looks great - I'll be installing the same on my truck soon. Have the parts, just need a free day to get it done. Did you get a full 1 1/2" out of it, or did it settle in at less?

I didn't measure it, it does still have a little rake to it which is fine since I'll
be towing my boat. My last truck had a RC 2 1/2 level and every time I'd
have the boat I'd always get flashed at night when dims on.

The inches doesn't really matter to me as long as the truck looks better.

I had mentioned in another thread I think I had looked at every picture on
this forum with level kits and couldn't really tell the difference between a
1 1/2 level and a 2 1/2. I'm quite satisfied with the results.

Darn that looks nice. I am thinking of going with the 1.5" also.

Would you be willing to tell me how much you got charged to install and alignment? You can PM me if you want. thanks

I am considering the AS and Readylift 1.5". They are the companies who manufactured offset designs to account for the new suspension geometry. I like the look of the powder coated Motofab, but the design has not been modified. It may explain why Bilstein has a significantly delayed release on the 2015 + F150 5100s.

Just had the AutoSpring 1.5" installed, I think any other kit will leave you a little nose high

But I'm getting the slow speed clunk on either side depending which way I'm turning, think shop needs to re-tighten everything unless any one knows specifically why?

I have 60-80lbs in the bed in this picture

I used my 6 plus, which fit perfectly in the front wheel well between tire and fender but was a tad tighter in the rear, so guessing when I remove the load, I'll be perfect

Was the actual 1.5 inches if so that actually gives you 2.5 inches of rise!! It says that on the product!!
