I have a 2012 XLT 4WD. I just installed a 2.5 AS on my truck and it sat just a hair high in the front, I have been driving for a few days, and it has definately settled to being perfectly level. I have not gotten an alignment done since the install. Hope this helps.

How much is a hair? Is this by eye only or did you actually measure it before and after?

Reason I ask is what could cause it to settle?

Yes, unless you actually measure, it can look different depending where and how the truck is parked. Sometimes I thought my nose was high while other times it looked level. I knew it had about 1/4" of rake because I measured.


I doubt there is any settling. A spacer was added to the top of the coil overs. What is there to settle?

I thought the same but I swear it looks more level than it did when I first installed the spacers, I think mine looks great with the 2.5 AS. I've never measured it but I also dont have anywhere that I typically go that has flat land to really get an accurate measuement. But like I said I think my truck's stance is awesome with the level.
