HELP!!! Advice Needed on proposed Lift...
I just ordered the Edge programmer and i am super excited. Merry Christmas to me!
I also want to get a leveling kit. This is my proposed lift and tires:
AS 2.5" Leveling kit
1.5" AAL in the rear- (This is what i'm unsure about)
33" tires also
With the 2.5" leveling kit I've done research and i've found that it should raise the nose up. Now with the 1.5" AAL that should rise the back end up to level right? If 1.5" AAL isn't the right size what size should i get?

I have the 2.5 Daystar on my truck with nothing else, and it is perfectly level front to back, I even measured the wheel gap to be sure, and it is the same. Check out the pics in my gallery to see.
I had the Autospring 2.5" leveling kit and the nose of my truck sat about 1/8" higher thatn the rear until the springs settled from it being a new truck. Then it was sitting perfectly level after 2-3 months. If you are looking for a cheap lift kit then I would do the 2.5" Autospring and the 1.5" AAL to raise it back up for when you have a load in the rear to keep it from squatting. I went with the airbags, they handle weight better, and you can adjust the ride height to whetever load you have in or on the truck. I can raise the rear of my truck by about 1.5" with the bag inflated to about 65lbs, but it rides really rough that way, and with the bags sitting at about 10psi for everday driving it sits about .5" higher in the rear. Just somthing to think about.
Thanks for all the input guys...I'm went ahead and ordered AS 2.5" leveling kit but i'm going to hold off and see what it looks like after installation. If it squats my rear end too much then I'll consider ordering the 1.5" AAL.
I ordered the AS 2.5" Off of ebay for around 90 bucks
and I also ordered THE EDGE this morning too! I'm psyched! I got it for like 339.
I have some before pics and after installation i will take some after pics with measurements.
