Well I got my 1.5" AS installed today. I'm very happy with the results. I'll get some pictures of it later (my camera is dead), but it'll be hard to tell a difference because my driveway has a little bit of a slant to it. The pictures won't tell the story, but the measurements will! So here they are if anyone was wondering.
BEFORE (from pavement to the top of the wheel well, measureing through the wheel centerline):
Front - 37.5 inches
Rear - 40 inches
AFTER:
Front - 39.5 inches
Rear - 40 inches

So I got 2 inches of lift from the 1.5" AS. I'm very happy with the results. It's now almost perfectly level, with the back .5" taller than the front which is just where I wanted to be. The ride is exactly the same as factory and, most importantly, the angles in the front are not bad at all. I think the 2" kit would have put me higher in the front and the 2.5" would have been way too much for my tastes. My truck didn't have that bad of a rake to begin with.
Now I need to get it aligned and get my new Nitto Terra Graplers (295/70/17) installed. They're just sitting in my garage waiting... and calling to me...
Pictures to follow later after the camera charges (and I finish my chores around the house).

Have to wait until the camera charges

 

haha, how much did the kit cost ya?

 

The kit was $79 shipped to my door.
I paid a friend of my brothers $100 to install it at his shop. To me it was worth the piece of mind to get it done by a professional and to know it was done correctly and that if he messed something up he would have taken care of it. And he did it on Saturday too.

 

Well, here are the after pictures. They kind of suck because of the sun, but I don't feel like going to take more.

 

Here's the angles up front. Not bad at all. I'm very pleased.

 

u just had to put that banner in there didnt u?

 

And here's my new tires. I can't wait!

 

tires should look good. How come you didnt get a 2"?

 

I didn't want the extra lift. My truck didn't have that bad of a rake to begin with. Possibly from towing/hauling some heavy loads when it was newer? Or maybe just the natural flucuation there seems to be with these trucks.
Now I'm .5" higher in the back which is exactly what I wanted. Plus, I figured the less height I added the less problems I would run into down the road.

 

kk

 

Looks bigger than a 1.5" Cant wait to see the tires installed

 

I was gonna go with a 2 inch AS. After seeing yours, I think that I will go with the 1.5

Thank you for posting

 

Oh yeah, I did not see where you got an alignment. Hopefully you did?
