Default 1.5" AutoSpring

Leveled my F150 last night. Install took me about 2 hours, but I took my time. It now sits about 3/4" to 7/8" high in rear as opposed to 2.5" stock. I wanted to leave a little rake because it is a truck, not a car or suv. Plus I hate that *** dragging, nose high look when towing something. As you can tell by the pics, it appears to be almost level, despite having an almost 1" difference in height. To me when a truck is evenly level or even as close as 1/2" high in rear, it appears to be nose high which I hate.

Nice! Looks better than that California lean I often see on here.

I hate that "Cali lean" look. To me it looks like they need new leaf springs....lol

Looks great! I have a 1.5" AutoSpring leveling kit coming my way this week and your picture reinforces that I made the right decision! Thanks for sharing!

I just had the Autospring 1.5" leveling kit installed and it looks the way it should come from the factory. Perfect!

I ordered the 2 inch instead of 2.5 just for the reasons stated. I was hoping to keep a little rake. A few people posted that they ended up with 3/4 inch rake with the 2 inch. Now you have me thinking I should have went with 1.5. I guess I can always put a block in the rear if I need to.

Truck looks perfect. Nice work

Install went ok? Mine is coming in tomorrow night (rough country 2.5"), I was planning to go off of stage 3's video of the install. Is this the method you went with? I did one a couple of years ago in my 2011, but I think I made it harder than it needed to be, stage 3's videos make it look pretty easy. Trying to decide whether to do it after work tomorrow or wait until the weekend. Did you have it aligned right after install? Sorry for the 20 questions lol...

I went with 2 inch auto spring and if I were to do it again I would have done 1.5". now with weight that's in the back of my truck daily it's got that slight sag others mentioned. I will raise the rear 1 inch pretty soon.
