Default Just added the autospring 1.5"

I just added the autospring 1.5" leveling kit to my 6" fabtech an it's a little too nose high for me. I'm wondering if when I get my alignment if it'll drop down a bit, if not I want to add an 1" or so to the back. Right now my block measures 5", why the biggest I can go in the back before I have to add a driveshaft spacer, and if I need to add that where can I get it and does it come spun balanced

Can you take a picture of how it looks now whenever you get a chance? i want to get a fabtech kit and add a 2" autospring so i am curious to what it would look like. You can get the driveshaft spacer from most companies that sell lifts. Im pretty sure fabtech has one. To get one quickly you should check a local tranny shop or an offroad shop and they should have one for ya.

I'll get the pic first thing tmrw it's dark right now but If I get the chance I will, I like the look of the Cali lean but sometimes in a bad angle it's Cali lean to the max haha.

haha. yeah thanks thats fine..Im assuming you still have 35's as well? Thats what i want to see is if itll look too weird with 8" lift and 35's..i dont think it will but i know eventually ill want 37's and 4.88 gears..haha. I also dont mind a little leaning but you are right, theres a point where too much looks stupid.

Yah I'm still running 35s. Just got them but once they wear down I'll go with 37s and regear. Prolly jump up from the 1.5 to a 2 or 2.5. But for now I need to figure out how to get lift in the back and possibly needing the driveshaft spacer

I see..sounds good. You dont wanna do an add a leaf? and you could go with a 6" RIZE block but not sure how easy they are to get or if they are the better option.

Nice looking truck...i see what you mean about the cali lean. Its not awful but definitely a little much. shouldnt be too hard to fix. 35" tires with 7.5" lift in front doesnt look bad at all. thanks a lot for the pictures.
