A.S. 2.5inch

I have the A.S. 2.5 inch or at least thats what I ordered ( my dumba$$ never took any measurment befor or after) and my rear is still like a half inch higher. The more I read on the forums the more I see people saying with the 2.5 inch you will need a a.a.l in the rear to be level and to go with the 2 inch to be level. Can anyone shed some light on why my rear is STILL higher!

HOw many miles are on your truck? I put mine on with about 800 miles on it and it was about .5" higher in the front, and then it settled down in the front after I put some miles on it. This may sound dumb, but my truck is dead level with under 1/2 of a tank of fuel, but not with a full tank. If you plan on towing like I do, get some airbags or an add a leaf to help level it back out.

you know, the last 5-6 times ive looked at my truck in profile, I agree- my backend is a bit higher still- i'm perfectly OK with it, but at first with my 2.5" AS the front was high for about 2 days, then settled even , and now, 11,000 miles later, my backend is like you say probably .5" higher- interesting.

I only have like 1500 miles on it and my back sits higher, it really bothers me I want it level. Just think I was worried about getting the 2.5 thinking it was going to jack up the front too much.
