Never heard of it. I did the Autospring and it was pretty easy. Im sure there will be a lot of leveling kits coming out soon because they are easy to build. I have a friend who owns a machine shop and he said he could build the Autosprings for $10 buck.

Donahoe Racing makes great stuff. Im sure thier leveling kit is top notch. But, it is likely to cost you more... and might not be worth it.

I am looking into the replacement coilovers that they just came out with. I started a thread about it but no one replied... so i guess there is minimal interest.

I asked about that before I got the Autospring and got no answer, I would have rather got new coilovers then put the autosprings on.

Southside... YOu have the exact setup im looking at. Is there any chance you will be taking some better pictures of your truck? It looks awesome and has something that interests everyone. THat is 35's on 20's wioth only a level kit.

05 supercrew - The donahoe coilovers were finished last week and will be shipping out this week. But, they are very pricey. 1200 MSRP. Another choice for replacement coilovers is the skyjacker 3" lift. it is 600 and includes add a leafs. You can also get an an ajustable front coilover that works with the stock shock.

I guess you already have a level kit so i dont know if you are still interested. BUt, i will probably be getting one of those things and i will let you know how it works.

Southside, what is your backspacing/offset to get that to work with 35s? Looks good.

I know this is off topic a little, but I'd actually like to lower the back of my truck to bring it to sit level, rather than raising the front. I'm a contractor, and I'm 5'9" (on a good day), so a little less is better. Anyone know how or if this can be done? It'a an '05 F150 XLT 4X4.

Thanks!

Take out the rear blocks and get a pair of 2wd u-bolts and you'll be set.

Southside... Im torn about going with the 35's or not. I ordered the 2.5 autospring (same thing as your level kit) and a rear add a leaf. The wheels i am looking at are 20x9 with +30mm offset or 6" of backspacing. My question for you is... If you had to do it again would you get the 35's? DO they rub at all? Thanks for all the help.... I just cant decide. On one hand i want to go order the Rancho... and on the other i want to leave the suspension stock and get some 33s. Thanks for the input.
