Default 2.5" Autospring level question

Figured i would ask this before i place my order because it is a concern to me. I need 2.5" up front to be perfectly level so here it goes. Anyone with the 2.5" Autospring level with 4x4 get any binding or clicking on the front shafts when turned full lock?

2.5 may be too much. I have a 2 inch kit with no problems and the truck would look high in the front with anything more.

I have the 2 inch autospring and my truck is perfectly level the 2.5 will not to the eye at least give your front end a high appearance.

I'm running 33x12.5x20 Toyo open country no rubbing no binding no issues

I've got the 2.5" autospring and I haven't been able to get it to make any weird noises at full lock either direction in forward or reverse.

Just had AS 2.5 installed yesterday no noises what so ever. As for being perfectly level I can't comment also had there 3" block installed in the rear

Appreciate the feedback fellas. Some have axle binding/noise & some dont with the 2.5" I have read. I wonder why the difference. Anyone know? I want a straight level truck but not if I might start tearing her up.

if the 15' are anything like the '13 2.5 will make your front sit 1" higher than the rear. go with 1.5-2.0" for dead level.

My truck sits 2.25 higher in rear. Adding a 2.5 spacer this week and I don't think I'll notice the .25 difference.

I had the 2.5 in my 09 fx4 and I thought it sat a touch nose high I kinda wish I got the 2 I would rather a light higher rear then front. I was net picking it... But as a drive ability I had no problems with my stock tires on my Goodyear Wangler Duratrack 275-65-20
