Default Show your Auto Spring 2.5"/3" with 295/60r20's

Looking for pics and info of this setup in one spot, preferably on stock rims. Anyone running this and care to share pics?? I'm confident it won't rub, just looking for pics on flat ground and measurements to the bottom of the fender openings.

Recommend not running a 3" AS level, as you may run into UCA rub, and ball joint issues. I have a 1.5 AS and its perfect on my FX4 w/ Firestone ride rite airbags. If I'm not mistaken most people who installed 2.5" would sit nose high. Attached is a pic when I had my factory wheels installed.

Thank you for the information, not sure I want to run bags, but I will look into it for sure!

You shouldn't have any rubbing. I run 295/60/20 with a 1.5" AS (front only) with no rubbing. If you do get any it will probably just be a slight rub on the UCA when turned to full lock. Mine doesn't even rub at full lock.

I really want a 6" lift, but the wife was not having it. I figure the 2.5"/3" is the closest I could get without really pissing her off! I definitely do not want it to sit nose high, which is why I was hoping for some pics of the guys running this setup.

I have the AS 2.5 (mostly because of hidden winch weight) and replaced the 2 inch block in rear with a 3 inch with 275/65/20's Toyo AT2. Love it!! Pics do not do it justice Show your Auto Spring 2.5"/3" with 295/60r20's-image-2915650030.jpg

That looks great! Is it a 4wd? Ever snap a pic next to a stock F150 to see the difference in height?

Yes (4x4) I took the decals off. I often park next to stockers and appx 3.5-4 inches taller due to lift and tires. I can't express enough that pics do not do justice. I chose this size tire because it is 34.5 inches tall but doesn't drag truck down as bad as 305/55/20's and better gas mileage

here is a few pics that may help, i have the AS 2.5" front strut spacers and the 3" rear blocks. I still have close to factory rak, which is what i wanted, but its night and day on the truck compared to stock, as mentioned by treekiller73, the pics do no justice, and i have duratracs 275\65\18s and i regret buying them before installing the lift\level kit. stock rims, and have no rub at all, i am looking at bigger tires, and hoping to fit 34.8" duratracs next!

if the pics dont work, i have never tried posting pics before, if they dont some help may be needed. thanks

Stock- few weeks after bringing it home


AS2.5\3" kit with duratracs


Cant keep a good truck clean living on a gravel road!
