Default 2.5 level good bad ugly

thinking about going with this. any thoughts. Have a 12 FX4 Scab. looking to do 285/55/22. I am leaning more towards the 2" AS level. But am now looking into a 2.5 with a 1.5 bock add on in the rear. I have read the treads that talk against this. But is there anyone who has had a problem with the 2.5? And you guys with it. Can you speak to how much you like or dislike it. Thanks

Which one to go with?

Measure the front and rear of the truck and do the math to see how much lower the front is... For my truck a 2.5" was perfect. I haven't had a problem since the day I installed it. I'm very happy with it.

The first one, from Supreme Suspensions, is the one I just put on mine a couple months ago. I love it and would do it again. And you can put a kit on it without buying new shocks. Don't know why that one kit includes them. Unless yours are worn out, keep the ones you have and save the money.

The supreme suspension says not for fx4/fx2 models, so I'm not sure why it would say that

The FX4 model is a bit different. Make sure the kit you buy is compatible with your truck. They will have a kit that will work with your truck. If it's not online, email them or call them. I think the number is 888-810-6791. They are VERY helpful. They can fix you up right over the phone. Hope this helps!!

None of them i would get the AS 2.5" level with a 1.5 add a leaf. I added a AS short AAL and it was a great decision, the truck does'nt ride any rougher than stock but is more stable feeling when loaded and also in corners.
