I installed a 2" on my 2010 & this 1.5" on my 2015 was much easier. Popping the strut assembly out is the hardest part IMO. Once out I took & removed the lower strut bolts by driving them out, this makes reinstalling the strut a breeze. The lower bolts are press fitted with splines & are in there tight. Funny my truck actually had a slight pull left from the factory, after installing the leveling kit it drove straight....lol I have an appointment Friday to get it aligned just to make sure it's good spec wise. You should wait until the weekend just in case IMO. My garage has every tool known to man along with a pro grade air compressor to match, so it made the job easy with the right tools.

I have the 2 inch Autospring and it is about 3/8 higher in the rear. I am very pleased with it. My truck is empty 98 percent of the time. The factory rake is too much for my tastes.

I am in California and I'm fat.

Apologize in advance if this is a stupid question. I know this lifts the front 1.5" but what does it do to the overall height of the truck. I just want to make sure I could still park in my garage after installing this leveling kit (Currently have 275/60/20 BFG KO2). Can someone with this kit measure your trucks height from the ground to the roof?

How is the ride quality now? Do you have A/T tires?

Do you have any pics of your tires on your truck?

It seems each truck ends up a little different even with same level. I just installed my auto spring 2". I still have a 1" rake. Exactly what i wanted.

Looks great. 1.5" looks perfect. If I opt for a the 2", I'll go with added block. I do look a little bit of rake.

My ram had the Cali lean with a 2.5" leveling kit I had to add 3/4" rear spring spacers.

Did you have to cut the factory studs? If so how much!
