I was all pumped last night to order my 2inch AS kit.
Today I had the landscape trailer hooked up and had the zero turn mower sitting over the double axles on the trailer and I took a measurement.
I only had a 1-1/8 diff between front and back. Fuel tank had a quarter of a tank of fuel.
After I took the mower and trailer off I measured again and had a 2 inch diff.
early this spring I measured a few times and had a 2.5 diff. but think I had more fuel in the tank. (ive got the big tank with the long bed and a CC).

So after hearing that the AS actually yields more lift than what it says im at a loss as to which way I should go.

For those of you who have done the AS whats your recommendation for the size of level and whether or not I should get a AAL or a block !!

Thanks in advance

 

If I were you, I'd go with the 2 or 2.5 inch Autospring and then add a taller lift block out back.

 

I have the 2" AS Leveling kit on my 05 SC, I love the lift but the rear sags a bit and it drives me nuts. So I ordered a 1.5" AAL from AS, Hopefully it'll help.

 

Keep in mind that mine is a 2wd Reg Cab but I faced this very delimma. The diff between front and back on mine is almost 3". I got the 2.5AS for the front and figured the back would sag about .5 in lower than the front. To fix this I bought a set of 1" FX2 blocks from Tasca and longer u-bolts from Fat Bob's. I am installing them this weekend. May not help you too much but I wanted to avoid the AAL since I don't tow much.

 

Ok so If I go with the 2 inch and then the AS block, according to their description for the block....

"now has available a 1-1/2 inch rear lift block/u-bolt kit for the 2004 -2008 F-150 2wd or a 3 inch lift block/u-bolt kit for the 2004-2008 F-150 4wd (the 3 inch lift blocks replace your factory 1-5/8 inch lift blocks)"

If I go with the 1-1/2 block im losing 1/8 of lift.
If I go with the 3 inch then i believe im going back to factory rake if not more than that.

 

If you have a 4wd the 3 inch block will only raise you 1 3/8 inches, unless I am mistaken. With the 2.5 AS leveling kit this would put you closer to level than it came from the factory although it might still have a slight rake, but not much since you are still lifting the front more than the rear. Someone please feel free to correct me if I am way off base here.

 

i have the autospring 2 inch spacer and autospring 1.5 aal.i was afraid of the rear sagging so i bought them both.i think my back now is slightly higher than the front.my 2 inch spacer yeilded me 2.5 inches.

 

Get the 3" block and the 2.5" Autospring, it should be pretty close to level.

 

i figure this and if im wrong then i dont know.the front is 2 inches lower than the rear.the 2 inch spacer add 2.5 inches so the front is a half inch higher than the rear.so when i did mine i figure adding the aal onto that i should be 1 inch give or take higher in the rear.now i only think it applies to 2wd. i have no clue about 4x4.
