Default Leveling Kit ??????????????

Purchased 2012 FX2 and looking to install front leveling kit, but not sure which product to go with. Been leaning towards Auto Spring out of Idaho. Thoughts/recommendations? Any help greatly appreciated.

I have a rough country level on my 2011 FX4. It's a decent kit.

I'm looking at AutoSprings as well for a 2" front leveling kit. How will that affect towing a 21 foot wake boarding boat? Will it look like I'm sagging? Will that hurt the truck at all?

Shouldn't hurt the truck but it'll probably look like it's sagging

i did a 1.5" AS kit up front on my 2014 FX4 ... which had only 1.75" of rake from the factory. After installation, the front was as close to "true level" with the rear as I could measure ... so I increased the blocks in the rear from 1.375" (factory size) to 2" which got me back to about 5/8" rake ... which is perfect for me. No sagging, unless carrying a very heavy load in the bed.

Here's an unloaded pick w/ that setup, and 34" tall tires:

Another option for you is to get 2.5 AS leveling kit and add rear blocks.

I installed a 1.5 leveling kit from auto spring on a 2014 reg cab and it gave me 3/8 rack in front and I feel it to be perfect for what I was looking for and its a easy install.
