OK, I won't try to stick up for anyone anymore. Good intentions gone to waste.

WOW this Thread is a little off topic...

Thanks 04NickySP2 for the pic of your truck, and no your truck does not look noes high. You do have the Autospring kit right?

Aaron_j Thanks for your input, I think I'll being going with the 2.5 kit with 35" BFG.

ive got 33's on stock 18s,a nd a 2.5" autospring. pics in the sig.
Rim backspacing, hmm...Isn't there a way to change this by adding something? If not what is the correct backspacing and what wheels generally come with such.

you probably want to stay away from any 'add-on' parts to the hubs up front... if i remember correctly-and if im wrong, im sure i'll be corrected- the backspacing is 5.5" you want to stay as close as possible to that number. the stock rims are 17/8 x 7.5 if you are running 35+ you need a wider rim - 8.5" or wider. but then you need to recheck your backspacing, because you just added an inch minimum in overall width...

Glad we are back on the subject here:

My experience, I recently added the 2" AS on my 06FX4 scab and wound up with 2 1/2" of lift - even after alignment. Now the front and rear are exactly equal. Looking at add-a-leafs now just to get the rear 1" up... Point here is you may get more than 2" on the "2 inch" leveler.

Hi

What does "aftermarket" means?

Thank you
