Default Anybody Running AutoSpring 2.5" Front / 3" Rear - Pics?

See title. Dubsesd is running the 2" Front / 3" Rear with 305/55/20" tires and it looks sweet but still appears to sit slightly lower in the front. I am curious to see any pictures with the slightly higher frond end lift. I don't want my truck sitting nose high so still might end up going with the 2" kit for the front.

Thanks!

From what I understand is the 2.5 up front and 3" in the rear is to fit bigger tires but still not have the *** end sag.

The guy's that perfectly level front to rear will be nose high when towing.

So you are saying that the 2.5" / 3" combo will sit perfectly level? Maybe I should go with the 2" kit since I do tow a boat.

No, it will look roughly like stock but the truck is raised, there will be a rake still.

i did a 2.5 in the front & i am waiting to put my 3" rear block in.. the truck sits perfectly level with the 2.5 in the front but im still not use to driving in the truck with it level so i bought the rear block to move the *** end up a little.. truck looks good leveled from the out side but not quit use to driving it like this.. hope this helps

I have a 2" level and just installed a 2" Add-A-Leaf. Sits at stock rake but 2" higher for larger tires

Would you mind posting pictures? I don't want the stock rake - so 2" / 2" is out for me. Some trucks I see are nose high - which looks weird. If you say that just the 2.5" in the front makes it sit perfectly level then doing the 2.5" front / 3" rear should give it a slight rake towards the front. Can you post pictures?

My truck has the 2.5" front and 3" rear and it has a rake. Not near as much as stock.

You have to figure your raising the front 2 1/2" +/- and the back 1 3/4" +/-.

this one is right after i did the 2.5 level in the front it looks deceiving because im on i slight slope




keep in mind this is without the 3" rear block in the back

I did the 2.5" front and rear 3" block and very happy with the result.
