Default AutoSpring Kits

I just ordered my 2" leveling kit from Autospring. I have heard a lot of good things about them. Looking at a lot of pictures and trucks with them installed I went with the 2" over 2.5" because the 2.5" looks like it makes the truck sit a little higher in the front than the back when it's installed and the 2" looks just about even. Is this correct ? I hope I don't need the 2.5".

been thinkin the same... but according to the pics ive seen and on autospring listings
2 inches will put it just about even 1.5 will almost be even but not THAT noticeable, people that usually use the 2.5 will put a block on the rear to keep their rake

That's what I've seen also, so I guess the 2" is the way to go for a total even look from front to rear.

I installed the 2" Autospring leveling kit last weekend but I added the 3" blocks to the rear because I like the rake.

It looks good. How do you like it ? Does the ride quality change at all ?

Default autospring 1.5

I put the 1.5" on my screw last weekend and love it. Maybe a little tame but it looks and measures level to me.

so basically you saw a 1.75" lift from your kit therefore a 2" kit would be a 1/4" higher in front compared to the back. im going crazy trying to decide between the 1.5" or 2" and so far my research shows these numbers. the hard part is that on some trucks the 2" looks good and on others the 1.5" looks good.

I have the Daystar 2" kit going on Tuesday. From the service managers truck the 2" looked perfect but not sure if it's because it was a Supercab vs. Supercrew. I'll be posting pics.
