That looks sweet, my truck is going to be that same color is yours, and I already have the 1 5/8" Autospring spacer at my house, so this gives me a nice idea of what the truck is going to look like. I love it! Looks great!

Nice looking truck! Good choice on leveling kit - looks better than the Daystar kit which makes the nose of everyones truck look a little higher than the rear IMHO.

Just for clarification - did you use the 1 1/2" spacer or the 2" spacer from Autospring? I was just wondering which spacer since the 1 1/2" is really a 2 1/4" lift.

What is your outer wheel well height front/rear now?

I am considering the 1 1/2" spacer (really 1 5/8") for mine but was curious how much lower the front sat after leveling when comparing the 1 1/2" vs the 2" spacer. I need my front end to sit a little lower than the rear since I do tow things every once in a while but still want to level it out somewhat.

Also did you do the install yourself and if so was it pretty easy?

I'm sorry, to be quite honest I really had to look close to tell much of a difference between to two photos. Does it make the truck drive or handle any better or worse? Have you put any weight i.e. 1000 lbs or better in the truck since this kit was added, did the front seem to high and was the handling effected when weight was added?

I like the look too , thats on my "list of things to do on my truck list", only thing is, mine is a 4 X 2 with P25570r17 tires, wondering if it will look funny. Can't wait till the tires wear out so i can put bigger ones on!
4 x 4's look so good, but would never use it on the mean streets of anaheim, afraid i would run over mickey or pluto.

This was the 2" kit. The wheel well height is 40" from ground front and rear. I did it myself with alittle help from one of my buds. The only hard parts was getting the ball joints disconnected. But other than that it was quite easy.

The truck does not handel any diffrent than before. Although I did feel like I was sitting further back in my seat the first time I drove it after the install.
