Here is my Lariat with an AutoSpring 2" level. To me it looks level, and doesn't look like it's got too much rake. I didn't do any measurements so I can't tell you how close it is to level. I just know it works for me and eventually I'll get some larger tires. I haven't managed to get through a full tank with it and the air dam removed, but per the computer the mpg hasn't changed(gotten between 17-18mpg). I know the tires will drop the mpg but that's worth the trade off to me.

Looks good... Did you install the 2" Auto Spring kit yourself?

If not who did it and how much did they charge you?

quick question though, if your going bigger tires if you haven't recalibrated your speedo correctly wouldn't your MPG screen be off as well? I would think bigger tires would affect your MPGs a little more.

This is a good site to figure out speed changes and compare tire sizes.

Kendive I installed it myself. Did it in a buddies garage who had just about every tool under the sun plus air tools. Took about 2 hours basically just followed the instructions(other than loosening the lower control arm nuts, read some people had issues doing that). Only other cost was the alignment as it was toe in after.($80)

That looks really good and pretty much confirms the 2" Auto Spring level kit for me. It can pull off a good look with stock wheels/tires as well! What are your MPGs like?

I haven't got to many pictures of my truck but I went with the 2" autospring and 285/65/20 bfg ko2s. I think it looks pretty good but I might be bias. I looked around for a long time before I actually decided on going with the 2". I really didn't want to add a block and with a 2.5" I figured I would have to.
