Looks good. Is it perfectly level or is one end higher than the other? I'm just wondering how it affected your truck. I have the same truck and have the 2.5" kit sitting on my floor waiting to get installed as soon as I get it back from the shop. I just dont want the front higher. I guess if it is, I can always put the add-a-leafs in the rear.

Hey brewdude- its amazing- on mine its dead level- ive got a ~200 some pound grille guard up front though too- right after they put it on, my nose was just slightly higher, but i've since put about 60 miles on it, + allignment, and its dead on now. I think you'll be alright, i might be slightly weary that it could be a tad nose high??? maybe- maybe some other 2.5 ers without deer armor up front can chime in on how they sit-
id say get er done!
you'll love it

jj

heres another pic, on a pretty level surface- there are a few new ones in the gallery too

I just had mine installed...it sits about 3/10 an inch higher in the front now with the 2.5 inch Autospring...I can't even tell without a ruler.

Getting the alignment done next week. Picture will follow after I get the LT handles installed.

yea- i love it- if it wasnt for this site, woulda never known! man mine needed allignement bad! at about 40mph you could feel it struggling.. the guy said the toe was off a ton basically said it was pigeon-toed, and the tires were more or less 'dragging' rather than spinning all's good now- smooth as glass -

oh, now i realllly cant see small cars when they're behind me! a jeep pulled up at a light and it dang well disappeared! all i got was the rear luggage crossbar!

hey plester- for brewdude's assistance- you dont have any equipment tacked on do you? just the standard truck front? and 4x4?

Yep, my front end has no mods other than a billet grill. I called Autospring before I ordered and talked to them about the tire package I was putting on (Nitto Terra Grappler 305/55-R20) and they recommended their 2.5" model. Like I said, I can't tell that the front end sits a bit higher unless I use a ruler.

Nice! It looks so nice to have a level truck...at first it almost feels like the front end is pointing up in the air. I noticed my 2" kit made my headlights pretty high onto other vehicles, I might have to fix that a little... or not.

It's great how something so small and relatively inexpensive can make so much of a difference - huh? It looks amazing, and I'm sure it feels it too.

btw folks, if I may ask, which Autospring would I use for a regular cab, 6.5', 4x2? I have been thinking about leveling it since I bought it 3 weeks ago! If that has been covered in another thread, please forgive me .

yea its absolutely amazing how much of a difference it made! im supercab 6.5' i think you'd be safe with either, if you're unsure, call up the guys at autospring, they're really helpful and if you do it over the phone, he'll ship it out this afternoon...no waiting at all- good luck
