Do not take your truck to thoses guys for an alignment...do you have a Sears close by...they do a good job $60.

Anybody have a good site or sticky that gives detailed instructions on how to install an AS 2" leveling kit?

Ok, I've done a lot of research...I mean A Lot! It looks like only the Toe-In will be affected. Is that what everyone else had experienced?

That's what happened to me. It felt really weird driving it from my parents house to the shop to get aligned. Almost like the truck was light in the front end. I would take it to a place that has experience with lifted or leveled trucks. I called discount tire (where I bought my nittos from) and asked who they recommended. The guy who answered had a leveled F150 and recommended a place up in Plano.

Plano is a little too far for me. Do you know of anywhere a little further south? Like South Fort Worth... That may be too far south for your knowledge.

Not sure about anything that far south. I'm still learning the area, only been here a year a d a half. I would call some off road shops in ft worth and ask them who they recommend.

I have pics of a 2.5" coil spacer install in my garage. No problems with the alignment!
