I finally got the chance to get my AS 2.5" kit installed today. Looks way better and i sit a bit higher in the truck. I cant wait till i get wheels, that will come this summer


last pic is a comparison...before is on the top

 

Did you say the top ones are before and the bottom ones are after. I cant tell the difference.

 

I like it. It will definitely look sweet with some bigger wheels/tires

 

I think the bottom two pics are the comparison ones. The top is before and the bottom is after. If you look closely you can see the nose tilting down in the before pic.

 

you got it

 

Ohhh i see now. Thanks. Couldnt even spot that lol

 

Pardon me for this dumb question but curosity is killing me. If you raise the front end of the truck 2.5", when it comes time to tow or to carry something heavy in the back, does the front end of the truck sit higher than the rear? The raised look looks great! Just wondering about the what-if.

 

Yes, if you tow or haul, the nose will sit higher and the rear will sag some. For that reason some members go with a 2" level kit instead of the 2.5"

 

Or do what a lot do, add a leaf or airbags, no sag then and much steadier tow.

 

Looks like the front is higher than the rear now? Optical illusion?

 

Good question actually...there are several different "leveling" kits out there,
2", 2.5" and I think I even read about a 3"....which one actually "levels" the truck...the 2"?

 

i will measure it tomorrow...but the pics are a bit deceiving, its looks pretty dead on front and back

 

I added the 2 1/2" AS as well - mine is sitting dead on, but it depends on where and how the truck is parked. Most go with the 2" level for the towing and such. If I had to do it over again, I'd probably do the 2" just to be on the safe side.

 

Nice dude, is there any chance your going to put a set of black wheels on there? I am actually waiting to see someone do the blackout look to the new F150's.

Just as soon as they come out with a new tail light setup to replace those chrome ones I bet ppl will eat them up.

 

First, stay away from the 3" kits!!! To much stress on your ball joints. As for what to go with? Typically, the 2" is used for almost level and the 2.5 for level. Myself? I am running a AS 2.5" it mine is pretty dead on level.
