So just to be clear, your kit was the 2" kit? When you ordered the kit did you say " I want a 2" kit"? I got confussed reading the one post that said something like 2" will get you 2.25" and 1.5" will get you 1.625". Umm that reminded me of a drunken night or two I had in college at a party with girls, but I won't go into anymore detail!
However, I've been tossing this idea of lifting my truck around in my mind since I picked it up back in March. I love the truck, love the looks both inside and outside. BUT, I get very depressed each time I see another FX4 sitting level out front like it SHOULD FROM THE FACTORY (pay attention Ford!). I don't know why, but for some reason if I go through with the lift I want the autospring instead of daystar, is this bad? I know this subject has been beat to death 3 times over but I just want to make sure I get a kit that will not alter the factory handling/ride that much. My truck rarely leaves black top and seldom hauls/pulls a load so what ever looks the best and will offer the best ride is what I'm after. Thanks for any advice!
