Talking Pics of the Level

Install went smooth as butter thanks to a big help from my buddy Mike and his air tools. I even managed to get it aligned without an appointment in under an hour thanks to the friendly folks at the Goodyear in Cape Coral. I'm very pleased with it. It measures 1/4" higher in the front, but it looks perfectly level to me. It's the 2.5" Auto Spring on a 4x2. Also pictured is my new Magnaflow SISO.

Looks good. And you meant you have a Magnaflow SI/SO right?

Er, yeah, whoops. Fixed. I think the heat got to my head in the garage this morning coupled with the 4 hours of sleep I got last night.

I saw that you were up pretty late, it looks like it was well worth the lack of sleep, good job. BTW, what jacks did you end up with?

Yeah, probably when these wear out though. I'm not trying to go over the top with my mods. I drove a truck that stuck out like a sore thumb for years. I like the stealth.

*edit* Oh, and I ended up just getting a Craftsman 3 ton jack and stand combo set with a creeper for 99 bucks. They didn't have the aluminum jack, and the combo was the best deal there.

I agree. Time to throw some wheel/tires on there. If you're going "stealth", what about the OEM 20"s

Looks good, the leveling kit was my best mod so far. Now I just need to get those new tires/wheels and complete the transformation.

Looks good man!


I really like the AS. Stragum and I installed his last week in about an hour with air tools. May have to take off my lowering shackles and level mine with an AS too...

how much dough

where did you buy the leveling kit and how much was it? Im thinking of putting one on my 2005 King Ranch F-150 2wd...Im eventually going to put 22's on it....do you think the leveling kit will make the ride better? or is it just for looks?
