Man, your 2wd has nowhere near the rake that a 4x4 does i hope your not nose high, your prolly gonna get 3" -3 1/2 " out of those spacers. Good luck and post pics of before and after. I interested b/c a buddy of mind also has a 2wd and he wants to level his out.

I'm not worried about it being nose high. I hope it is with just the Autospring installed. I scored a set of 4x4 blocks and u-bolts on Ebay for $30. They should be here in the next few days.

I just installed the 2" kit on my 4X4 and it looks MUCH MUCH better. Makes you wonder why in the world Ford doesn't level them to begin with. Post a pic when you're done.

They are not level from the factory due to the vehicle being a truck, with a bed, with a purpose of hauling a load. A few hundred pounds in the bed and its level!

Curious for those of you who have 4x4's with the level kit. Does a heavy load in the bed cause the truck to dip too much in the back. Suncoast Ford had a great point.

I semi-frequently haul things in my truck (what a concept) and would llike to get the level kit. I worry that it would affect the handling negatively.

There is a 2'' leveling kit instead of the 2.5''. I havent installed mine yet. I ordered the 2.5 and changed it to the 2 for the same reason I didnt want the front to high when towing things. The 2'' still looks great.

Depending on how much you are hauling... When i tow my boat in stock form The truck is almost exactly level... So Im pretty sure that the back would be 2-3 inches lower than the front when towing if i leveled it out. For this reason im going to install an add a leaf or airbags for towing whenever i get the leveling kit. I think that i will most likely do the airbags because they would give me the ability to be level all the time... with an add a leaf i would still have the "rake" that the truck has stock.
