The RC spacer has what it looks to be "press in" studs. We drill the holes and then tap them, which is a more expensive process. As you tighten the nut you are turning in the same direction that tightens the stud.
Shoot a message to Alex at f150 lifts.com , I can guarantee you he wont steer you wrong ...they carry most all of the best equipment for our f150's ... Believe it or not he doesn't push his f150lifts products over others that he sells ... He will give you the info you need and let you decide ....
Personally I would only go with an actual lift 4-6" fabtech IMO or a coil over level kit ... Either Fox 2.0 or the Boss f150 lifts set up ...
Im running the Fox 2.0 's and they are great , love the handling and the ride they provide ... And compared to oem or some of the less expensive coil over level kits its like a totally different truck with the Fox kit under it ....
If you like the sloppy oem ride by all means go with a spacer kit ...
I'm wanting to level my 13 STX reg cab, its a 2wd and I'm for sure adding a 1in block in the rear no matter what i get my question is I've seen hundreds of threads so I'm gonna add one more, what is the pros and cons of a spacer level vs a coil over like rancho quick lifts, I'm aware of bilsteins but those are the 2 I'm deciding between and plus I'm looking at keeping this truck till the wheels fall of so i can then just put new ones on, so which is better as far as wear and tear over time? and which is worse
I went with the Autospring 2.5'' and the 3'' rear block to keep the factory rake and I love it. And the 35x12.50 fit awesome with no cutting at all.
Hows the ride any worse than factory? my concern is if spacers put too much stress on the rest of the front suspension or do coilers and spacer put the same stress

Pretty much both put the same stress but as long as you keep it under 3" it's not to bad.
Basically spacers for the most part keep a stock feeling ride, (some like the stock ride some dont) coilovers usually are an upgraded shock from OEM and some will firm up the ride, (I feel in a good way, truck feels more planted, doesn't roll in corners)
Anyone have an opinion about Autospring having a built in offset to keep the control arm off the coil spring? A coworker has 2014 2.5 front and 3 inch shackle in the back and doesn't like that the upper arm hangs up on the spring when he hits a speed bump to fast. I just got my 2012 and in my prep to level mine saw that Autospring has an offset(claim to be the only company that does). Now said coworker wants to change his out. Looking for informed opinions here not hear say. Thanks.

Very nice truck! Do you have additional pics of your truck at different angles? How much higher is the rear of your truck from the front? I want mine to be about .5"-1" at the most.
