pics of 1.5 inch AS?

Does anyone have a pic of a 1.5 auto spring spacer with nothing in the rear? it seems to me that 2 and 2.5 make it look just a tad high up front. i want to keep just a slight rake or dead level.

Thanks!!!

I believe a 2.5" is a dead level... so you'll be an inch shy with a 1.5" kit.

Frankyflo - dude I love that push bar against the color matched bumpers. Mostly I see them with chrome bumps. Nice!

Maybe on average but certainly not always correct. I have a 2" AS on mine now and the front sits about a half inch higher in the front.

If my Bilsteins come in, I'll be having them installed next week along with my 1.5" AS. I'll post pics when it's done. Beautiful truck, zabeard!

im basing this on actual measurements from the wheel hub to the fender line. If you just eyeball the stance of the truck then yes it may appear to be level because the bed is higher than the hood on these trucks. For some reason my eye goes straight to the fenders. I measured the fenders and they were just shy of 2 inches lower up front. Therefor I think a 1.5 will do it for me. Grub your truck is sharp!

I agree! I've see alot of trucks that people say are level but clearly aren't. I've measured mine several times in multiple ways. 2" is too big(atleast on my truck).
