I am looking to level out my F150, but not change the tires and was wondering which way to go, 1 and a half or 2 inch? I was looking at auto spring, what would you all recommend?
Have you measured the difference? I like to measure from the lower wheel lip to the fender lip that way it doesn't account for tire bulge, etc. Find the difference and go from there.
I'm also in the same boat. Have a crew cab w/ 6.5ft bed and measured the rear is exactly 2in higher than the front. I've decided I'm going with the AutoSpring 1.5in. Dont think I'll notice 1/2in rake, plus I may be putting a fiberglass topper on the back. So with the extra weight it might be level anyway. Plus I tow a trailer some times, not very often, so I dont want to be to nose high with the trailer.
I'm also going with taller tires. From 275/65R18 to 275/70R18. So gaining about 1.5 there too.
I'm trying to decide between a 1 and a half inch level and a 2 inch as well. My rear sits exactly 2in higher than the front also, and I don't regularly tow or haul anything heavy . I read somewhere (can't remember where) that whatever size level you install, once it is installed, the actual height of the level is less than what it should be. For example: you install a 2in level kit, but the lift you get is actually less than 2in. Have any of you heard this to be true? Just curious, I'm a rookie with this stuff.

Well a year ago I had a 1.5" Autospring level put on and I gained nearly 2" from that. So just something to take note of. The trucks look better with a slight rake in my opinion.

You're right. I was confused, you actually do gain MORE of a lift. I think I may go with the 1 and a half with bigger tires. Hopefully that will work.
Well i ended up going with a AS 2". For some reason i think i still have a very slight rake. After reading on here and seeing pics of a 2" i thought it would be perfect and maybe to much.
2014 FX4. What do you guys think?

I prefer a slight bit of rake so I think it looks perfect.
