2.5'' AutoSpring Installed....pictures.

Makes the truck look a lot better... and looks pretty decent with stock rims and tires. Not a bad price for a mod that changes the total appearance of the truck. The 2.5'' autospring kit lifted the front end of my truck up about 3.5''

Parts off ebay: $80.00
Labor + Wheel alignment: $162.00

Can't beat the price.





The truck now sits about .25'' higher in the front, but it is not noticable... or atleast I don't think so.


What do y'all think?

Looks good, just had mine done last week. THese kits really level the truck out nicely and changes the look completely...for the better.

Looks good 78Staff... looks like I need bigger tires. The tires will have to wait, but they sure would be nice.

Looks great. I did the same spacer, and I've also got it 1/4" higher in front, but it doesn't show. Now it's time to undercoat the rear wheel wells. That's another thing that made a huge difference in my truck's side profile looks.

Your truck looks nice. I see you got 35s and 3:55 gears? So how dead is the truck now?

LOL not as bad as I expected, but I do have an Edge

Right now in OD I cruise at 75@1800 rpm's, which is probably a bit lower than optimal, but I leave OD off unless I'm on the expressway or similar. I put the truck back to stock and pulled the Edge since the dealer did the mount and balance, and it was a pig leaving the dealer. But hooking the Edge back up and going to L2 helped a bunch. Might try L3 but I think L2 is designed for more low end and torque so not sure if L3 would improve any.

Honestly I suspect a gear change is coming down the road, 4.11's or 4.56's, but that's a whole 'nother thread
