Autospring

Finally got my autospring leveling kit,and installed them today. I bought the 2 1/2" kit and I measured the height of the fender flares at the highest point after install, 39 3/4 rear and 39 7/8 front (only 1/8 inch difference)

Thanks for adding that picture! My 2.5" daystar kit will be here wed and I couldn't decide if I was going to put it on before I got rims and tires too. After seeing your truck I think I'll go ahead and put it on.

How long it take you to install them?

I just got my kit the other day, waiting for time off to install it.

I am not sure the differance between the daystar and the autospring. but mine settled after a week or two. you should take measurments again after some driveing. my front end still sets like a half inch or so lower than the rear after the 2.5 daystar. which is better I think as I don't think the front end should be higher. especially if you tow or haul something that lowers your rear even more it would look funny.

between the rain,the beer,and yelling at the kids, about 4 hours. After I figured out what I was doing on the driver's side, the passenger side only took an hour.

35's are coming eventually

...would have only taken 1/2 hr for the passenger side, but he put it in upside down after all the beer he had on the driver's side.

Settles?? What's going to "settle"??? If something drops 1/2 inch in the front I think I'd take it back and have it looked at. Definitely Re-Aligned.

I've got an AutoSpring kit myself. It's the same ride height as the day it went in...

I have the Daystar 2.5" and it did not settle either. If you take in to consideration the fact that the truck had its springs extended for a couple of hours, I guess it did settle the springs back down from the fact the tires were suspended. I see many are considering 35s still. I think for my purposes, the 33s are better. Aligned it after also, was only out a bit.
