I had the 2" new offset Autospring spacers installed last weekend and it turned out pretty good. So far so good, I would like to thank Kevin for all of his help.

Looks great.. Kevin's a good guy. I'm ordering mine from eBay as we speak.

 

Mine are ordered. Not to hijack, but I'm not very mechanically inclined. Will I be able to handle this myself?

 

That looks good. If you don't mind me asking, what is the difference between the new autospring kits and the older ones?

 

SSpiro I paid someone to do it for me , but from i have heard they are pretty easy if you have all the tools, but i wouldnt know i honestly didnt want to bother with it.

extremeford4x4 The difference is an offset of a 1/4 inch so that it wont rub. very minimal but i hope it works .

This simple mod is an easy way to lift your trucks front end but it is far from being a suspension lift. This is something you have to remember when doing this. But as far as looks it completely makes your truck look better in my opinion.

 

I agree. It's solely cosmetic, but the difference is night and day.

 

Looks great
Did you need an alignment???

 

carrier150 Yes I did need and alignment, I was told that it needed it pretty bad, That is why its good for someone to install the leveling kit who can also align it for you, and if you plan on doing it yourself make sure that the alignment shop is near by.

 

What I find to be strange is that my old Autospring kit has caused no rubbing at all. Others have said (and shown picks of) quite a bit of rubbing. Its strange that there could be such a difference between vehicles.

BTW- The truck looks great! Just a suggestion though, try taking the FX4 stickers off the rear sides. It really cleans up the entire look of the truck.

 

I think most people complain about rubbing with the 2.5" Autospring.

 

Then why did they redesign the 2 inch kit?

 

I don't know. Maybe they redesigned all of them?
And where can I find this kit? Ebay doesn't seem to have any.

i've only had mine on for maybe 4mths. .and i've been off road, i've even flexed my suspension.. i dont have any rubs, or i dont hear any knocking.. i'm assuming mine's the old style autospring.... I had someone install mine as well.. could it be the installer ???..

EDIT:.. sorry, mine is the 2'.. not the 2 1/2...

 

Read the 4-page Autospring thread. Kevin from Autospring replies in that thread explaining why some have the rub and others don't. informative read!
