Exclamation Where to purchase Autospring

I'm fixin to order the autospring leveling kit and I need to know where I can order one from? Should I get the one that raises it 2 1/2 inches or 1 1/2 inches. I chose the autospring over the daystar because it is supposed to be easier to install but I might consider getting the daystar and depending on the price of the autospring. I couldn't find an exact answer on the search so I figured I'd go ahead and ask. Thanks for any help.

It mentioned a few time but at least you tried searching unlike alot of people. You can order it all off ebay any day of the week for $118. Just put "autospring" into the search box and make sure to check the box right below that say "Search title and description". As far as which one, the two sizes are - 2" (1-5/8" spacer) and 2.5" (1-3/4" spacer). I got the 2" kit and it really lifted my truck 2.35" and now its only .5" different from back to front. Basically Ive noticed the actually amount of lift seems to depend on your truck. Id say if you are at all worried about being nose high go with the 2" kit, if you want to sit perfectly level with no rake at all then go with the 2.5".

Thanks for the help, I think I am going to order the 2 inch lift since I read in a couple threads that some people had a few problems with the 2.5 inch kit.

I ordered mine yesterday and did it over the phone. I was torn between the 2" and the 2.5"...the guy at Autospring strongly recommended the 2.5" because of the tire setup I'm going with (305/55/20). They both cost the same, so I trusted his recommendation.

Anyway, they were very user friendly. One thing he suggested is that you drive the truck for a couple of days to ensure everything sits properly, then go for the alignment (rather than having it done all at once).

I have the 2.5" autospring leveling kit on my '04 SCAB 2x4 and it sits just below level with the nose slightly lower than the bed. I wouldn't be happy with the 2.0" kit

The installation is straight forward and easily accomplished in less than 2 hours with standard hand tools. I did mine by myself even with limited visiblity due to setting sun in about 1.5 hours.

Not sure what problems others are experiencing with the 2.5" kit vs. the 2.0" kit but mine fit perfectly and has held up as designed.

There are actually 3 Sizes...1.5 / 2 / 2.5. Check out my post I posted up. I had the 1.5 in kit installed...ride is exactly like stock, but taller.

Check out my gallery, there are pics. Again, it also depends on the model (so Ive heard) how much actualy lift you get. Varies truck to truck. I.E. My truck got close to a 2 1/4 lift with the 1.5 spacer.
