Auto Spring vs Ready Lift... What makes one better then the other ?

PipersFx2

I went with the ZONE 2" because it's made out of a polyphthalamide material. (not metal, it's almost like an extremely hard rubbery material.) Here is a link to the one I bought. Supposably these are better and so far I don't have any complaints. I'm sure a lot of it is personal prefrence because they all work fine.

My AS lift was only like $100, which I believe is cheaper. And it's still made in America from quality steel. I've heard some negative things about the polymer spacers that are out there (they end up getting compressed and squat). But most leveling kits out there are good products.

$100 and made in America!! You can't beat that!! How hard and long is it to install on the fords ?? I did my Chevy a few years ago and it was a pain lol ....

Yeah, it's a steal. I had my sister's boyfriend do it who is a professional mechanic. I just didn't have the time to do it myself. From everything that I've heard though it's fairly easy and straight forward. There are several how-to threads on this site, on youtube, and other places. It just bolts right on top of your strut assembly. No need to take apart the strut. Afterward you install it, you have to get an alignment done immediately. Go straight from your garage to the alignment shop. I was able to get a free alignment by taking it to the dealer and said that it was pulling to the right-- the did it under warranty.

Yea I had to do the same in my Chevy ... Good thing with my new tires I bought the lifetime alignment for my truck ;-) ... Well worth the $130 bucks ... Can take it in as often as I want and have them align and rotate my stuff ...
