Default 2" or 2.5" kit

Let me first say i'm enjoying the forum already...
Now to the question: I just recently got a 06 Lariat 4x4, and the first thing im going to do is a leveling kit. I've seen 2" and 2.5" offered for basically the same price, but which one should i go for? And has anybody used the Summit kits? Thanks for the help guys.

i would go with autospring. look on ebay they are about $70 shipped. second, take a messuring tape and see what would be best to level out your truck. each truck is a little different but i would recommend 2", our ball joints angles wont be as bad

I've been told 2" if you do a lot of towing or hauling and don't plan on installing anything on the front such as a brush guard. If you are going to put something on the front and don't do a lot of towing or hauling put on the 2.5". 2" can clear 33's 2.5" can clear 35's
