I bought this one. It was so easy, only took an hour to install on a lift. No rubbing and no issues whatsoever.

I've got the 2 inch Autospring and have had it on for about 25K with no problems at all. Really easy to put on and I have plenty of coil/control arm clearance, even at full down travel. I checked my ball joints the other day and they're fine too.

good to know. We are here in germany with the AF and would not like to wait for weeks for replacement parts to come if the level messes with the front end.

On the Autospring - which actually makes the truck level? The 2 inch or 2.5 inch?

If the 2 inch works, it may produces less stress on things.

I don't think there is an easy answer to your question. Every truck "sits" different and every truck will settle different after the install. 2.5 will get the nose in the air but depending on how your front end settels will determine the final stance.

I'd do a search, check out pics of the trucks with the kits and just see how they sit after the install. Everyone lists their mods so it should be easy to tell who has what.

Good luck.

We use Ready Lift at work, and with a little secret fender mods unnoticeable to the untrained eye, we can get 35s under them with no rubbing.
