I have the 2.5 and 3 Autospring set up and I love the way it sits. I have only had it on there for about 3 months and the u bolts are looking pretty rusted and was wondering if anyone has notices this issue? Does anyone know where I could get some replacement u bolts that will hold up for the long haul? Thanks.
I used the factory Ford Raptor u bolts on mine along with the 3 inch block.
I appreciate the pics Wzupmane, I think I have made my mind up and going this route. Any contact on the upper control arms at full extension? I have read some people say they do. Your truck looks sick dude.
Yes, your upper control arm will hit the coil at full extension. You'll hear the contact driving over speed bumps. My tires rub the upper control arm at lock as well.
wzupmane was one of the trucks that made me pull the trigger on my setup.
2 inch front, 3 inch rear, Auto Spring Kit... 20x10 -12 wheels with 305/55/20 tires... PS: This leveling kit has been removed from my truck and is for sale... I loved the stance... it cut out about half the rake of stock and raised the entire truck... cause I can't stand a nose high truck and I didn't want to loose the gas mileage of no rake...
They all look good. I really don't want any contact with the upper control arms, will aftermarket UCA's eliminate the contact at full extension? If not, I may do 2" like User Error, looks good too. Would really love the little extra lift if I can eliminate the possibility of contact. Or I may go back to thinking 4" or 6" lift.

My 2 inch touched occasionally... when I purchased it years ago... they said the 2 was the tallest you could go with cause everything else hit way to hard...
I have the 2.5 inch AS kit on mine with the 3 inch rear blocks. I ended up putting the stock blocks back under it because I didnt like the rake I wanted it level. As for UCA rub, I have yet to have mine rub. I drive over 2 speed bumps every time I leave work and drove through some pretty rough sttuff this hunting season. I went with the AS kit because it is an offset design that is supposed to elimnate UCA contact, and so far it seems to work as advertised.

I just put the autospring 2.5/3 kit on my 2013 yesterday. Like some of the others, I wanted to keep a bit of the rake for towing. I tried with just the front for fun at first, but was a bit nose high with just the front 2.5.
This is with the stock wheels.
