Autosping help?
I have a 05 f150 fx4 supercab and i want to get the auto spring leveling kit but i dont know what one to buy the 2inch or the 2.5inch the person that sells them said that the 2inch will have a little racke good for towing or hauling heavy things but i dont do that so he said to go with the 2.5 I am just wondering what every won else has done and is it worth it. If anyone has hade any problems please let me know.

I have the 2.5 on my truck and LOVE it. I do haul my 18ft trailer with my mustang and the back end of my truck is dragging though..... I will be installing a set of firestone air springs in the rear very shortly.

I installed the 2.5 Daystar...took 2 hours to do with little or no porblems. My truck now sits 3/8 inch lower in front, and bulldogs just a hair when pulling quad trailer. Happy as a clam, and really like the look. Once I get it cleaned up, I will change my pics.

I have the autospring 2.5" and the ride is still as smooth as glass. I can't tell a difference from the stock setup. Within a week of installing the kit I made a trip to Atlanta, Ga (800 miles one way) and expected a decrease in gas milage because the aerodynamics were modified but the calculations revealed no change what-so-ever.
I've had a 4wheeler and trail bike in the bed at the same time at a combined weight of around 500lbs and the back remained level with the front.

I installed the 2.5 kit . I measured at the rocker on level ground to see what kit i needed. I"m a 1/4 inch higher in the rear but looks level. Your ride will not change since all you are doing is pushing the lower control arm down . I don't do any towing so can't help you there . There are some helper spring kits out there to help the rear spring with out raising the back.
