Help. . .

What exactly changes when adding a leveling kit? Im trying to find a place to get it aligned before I start taking it apart but Tire Kingdom said all they could do was set the toe?

Yup, the 1-1/2" Autospring.

I was hoping to get it on today but it doesn't look like its going to happen. .

The only thing that the AutoSpring changes is the toe-in. Other folks on here posted that the only thing that was adjusted post-install was the toe setting.

I remember reading that when I was looking to do the 2.5" Daystar but I could of sworn when I got my truck aligned that time, toe wasn't the only thing changed.

Thanks but the rear still sits 1" higher in the rear.

I think i'd rather be 1" higher in the rear than in the front. Depends on the look your going for though.

The front will end up only sitting .5" higher than the rear. I was getting some rubbing during some hard off-roading, otherwise I'd probally just live with it.

That'd be my first choice, if I had an extra $800 laying around.

Either way, I would still need to get it aligned.

Yeah, I was suprised when I found a shop out here that give me a unlimited lifetime alignment special for $120. I asked them if I go to the desert every weekend I could come in every Monday and get an alignment free? They said "yes". I jumped on that quick!

Where did you find the 1.5" Autospring? I can't find them anywhere, although I haven't looked all that hard.

Kevin from AS emailed me the other day and said that all I had to do was buy the 2" form Ebay but specify 1.5" in the purchase. He still makes them (offset version too).
