Question What inch Autospring with this setup?

Hello everybody first off just wanted say thanks for having a great web site with so much great information!

I have been doing lots of searching and I just want to clear up some things.

My 05 FX4 Supercrew I want to put the Autospring 2” or 2.5” leveling kit on. I’ll be using the OEM 17” wheels and wanting to go with 35” tires will the 2” kit work and if not will the 2.5” kit make the truck look nose high in ANY WAY? I don’t mind a little rake just not the wheelie look!

Thanks for help and if you have any pics of what I want to do send them along.

you'll be fine with the 2.5- no bulldogging (nose high) if you tow heavy heavy loads, you may want to invest in something else, or you will notice some high end. 35's should be fine if you keep your stock rims, if you go aftermarket, youmay experience some minor rubbing depending on your rim backspacing, etc.
ive got 33's on stock 18s,a nd a 2.5" autospring. pics in the sig.

based on all the photos I've seen on here, I would go with the 2". The 2.5" ones look nose high to me.

35s will fit if you keep your rims however, aftermarket you'll rub for sure, and Im pretty sure it won't be minor. I had rubbing with 33s and 2-1/2" Daystar and 33x13x18 Nitto Terra Grapplers. .

Thats what it looks like to me only in some of the pictures!?

Thanks for the help, I guess my next question would be will 35" tires fit with the 2" Autospring. AND I'm keeping the stock rimes.

I don't have a comment about the AS, but Nicky, I find your pic of peeing on Harley Davidson very offensive, since a grown man does not have the decency to act like one in public. Very Immature.

This is why America is being violated, by her own people.

My .02.

All you have to do is put a jack under the middle of the front crossmember and you can raise the truck to see what 2" and 2 1/2" will look like.

I did this Monday and wound up ordering a 2 1/2" kit for my 2WD XLT. Even at 2 1/2" the rear of the truck was still ~1 7/8" higher in the rear so this left some room for the rear to compress under load.

Exactly why is it offensive?

You can't please everyone so if you don't like it then don't look at it. The real problem is liberals trying to push their views on everyone else around them.

Thumbs down

Were you raised by dogs? I guess if you don't see the immorality in your gesture, then I don't need to waste my time talking to you....repulsive.

I guess in your country, you don't have restrooms or toilets, so you just urinate in public. Where are you from anyway? By the way, welcome to AMERICA!!!

Are you sure you just aren't some Harely lover and that is why you have problem with the picture?

Sounds like you need to chill out and step back from the computer. When you are ready to act like an adult and respond without childish flames then click on my username and email me.

Actually I don't really like the tail/headlights. And that isn't me in the picture.

Thats quite alright. Besides, you might pee on me.

No, I'm not a Harley fan, just the point of you having a picture of some dummy urinating on a reputable company's sign on a public forum doesn't make any sense to me.

BTW, I'm sure the guys at Harley would love to see this picture. Think of it this way, would you like for someone to post a picture of someone pissing on the hood of your truck? I bet that would hit a nerve. And I don't need to step away from the computer. I was fine until I saw this. I just hope that picture doesn't fall into the wrong hands......if you know what I mean.......

BuBye Now.
