Default Pic Request: AutoSpring 1.5'' Leveling Kit!

Hey guys, real quick as I'm headed out the door to work! I am wanting to level my truck but after measuring, and measuring again, it appears a 2'' or 2.5'' leveling kit will make me noticeably nose high! I would need to spend more money and put 3'' blocks in the rear.

While it seems to not be as popular, AutoSpring makes a 1.5'' leveling kit. This might be exactly what I need to raise my front but still have a wee bit of rake. So, I'm looking for pictures specifically of trucks with the 1.5'' installed, with the rear stock. A 5.5' supercrew, with stocks rims and tires would be the ideal model, as that is what my truck is.

Looking forward to the pics, thanks in advance guys!

Went with the autospring 1.5" and don't regret it at all. It is dead level and originally I could have argued slightly nose-high.

Before tires and level:


After tires (285/65/20); before level:


Kind dark; but after tires and level:

That looks perfect. A 2" AS would have been too much. Was the actual spacer 1.5" or was the overall lift 1.5 inches?

looks good. My offset is exactly 1.5 so I can't wait to get it installed and leveled out.

I have a 1.5 sitting in the garage... I am going to wait until after I get the tires on next week to decide if I am going to install it or not.

I installed the AS 1.5" kit on my 2010 and loved it and I plan on reinstalling a 1.5" on my 2013 tomorrow.

Do you guys have a slight rake? I don't want my rear end to squat with a little bit of weight in the box or on the hitch.
