So I'm wanting to lift the front of my 06 SCREW right at 2". Can I expect to get a true 2" out of a AS 2" kit or do you get less/more than the kit actually is? should I go with the 1 1/2" or 2 1"2 to get the 2" I'm wanting?
Please help me out here. Especially if you have my model truck and can tell me what you got out of what kit.

Thanks AGAIN!

Also, I'm not stuck on AS....

 

AS, you should be able to get at most 1/2" more than advertised I believe...?

 

So a 2'' kit will put my front end at 2 1/2'' higher?

 

Here is what I got out of my 2.5" kit. 05 XLT 5.4 supercab.


The last pic is with 285/70/17's

 

at most

 

Thanks! So im thinking to get 2'' out of mine i should just go with the 1.5''?

 

Depends on if you also increase tire size...

Well i just put new tires it and plan on sticking with those as long as possible. 285-70-17's

 

If you want an additional 2" and you're not planning on swapping tires, I'd go with a 2.0" leveling kit. A 1.5" may give you a little more than that, but it might not be a full 2.0".

Do you want the truck to sit level, nose down, or nose up?

Edited to add: I'm running the 2.0" AutoSpring leveling kit.

 

My rig sat pretty dang level with the 2.5" kit and 285/70/17's

Some pics of the finished product

 

What cab do you have? That weight makes a difference too. My '04 scab looks great and has a .5" rake still rear higher than front with my 2.5" AS.

 

As far as I know, you are not going to get an exact 2" lift unless you get seriously OCD and engineer / build your own kit. The leveling kit lift heights are approximate, and honestly are usually rated a little low... For example, My Autospring 2.5" kit lifted me 2-5/8", yes only 1/8" difference, the next guy over might get 2-34" out of it. A lot of factors including weight, overall condition of the OE coils, etc... come into play.

 

I think a 2'' kit will be your best bet with a screw

 

SuperCrew XLT 4.6. No brush guard or bull bar...

Thanks for the info fellas!

 

I am more interested in the wheel well space above the tire. Wanting the space to be just about the same, maybe a little bit lower in the front BUT for sure not higher in the front.
If that makes since...

I am not a fan of the higher in the front look and often I've found sometimes the truck is level but it looks higher in the front...
