Default Auto Spring Level or Shock level

I am getting my truck in 11 days according to Cotus. I have been researching tires and levels etc. Almost ordered the Auto Spring 2 inch level because of the good reviews here but noticed the Bilstein shock leveling kits. I did not see any for 2015.

I am not interested in coilovers. Too expensive to just level. Can someone school me on options between a Auto Spring type level and coilovers? I just want to make sure i am considering all options before making a decision.

All I can say Is that I did the Autospring 2 inch level and it is just like it was before but level. The ride is the same and and the truck drives and tracks perfectly. A simple fix for the rake.

I like the 2 inch auto spring on my truck. If you like the stock ride go with that. If you are going to do a 33 1250 tire I would do a coil over or a shock set up. To me the factory shocks left alot to be desired with an upgraded tire. For the record Im used to driving lifted trucks so the factory ride always seems to soft to me.

About AutoSpring:

1. They advocate a complete alignment after their install.

2. Their install instructions are downloadable from their site. I would print them out and pass them to the installer. Just to make sure he does a good install according to AS specs.

coilovers and upper control arms.
best way to level a truck, shocks make all the difference in ride quality - UCA keeps every geometrically sound.

Keeps the factory ride with a simple lift. I bet 90% of the f150 since 2004 have been done this way. You can look at one in the lane next to you and see that it has a spacer.

I just ordered the auto spring 2 inch. If I was going any higher then 2 inches I would go all out and get a full lift with new control arms. It seems 2 inches does not change the geometry that much.

Now I need to choose between the BGF KO2 and Toyo Open Country A/T2 and I will be ready for delivery haha
