Im getting the 2" AS leveling kit for my 09. Was lookin at the ebay store and they have the 1.5 and 3" blocks for the back. Was wondering if I needed to look at getting them while I ordered the front. Will it sit dead level with the 2" be a little higher in the front? Will it look better with the lift in the back? plan on runnin 33x18 or 33x20s on it eventually.

 

I just ordered the 2.5" kit and the 3" block for the rear. I want the back a tad higher so when I pull a trailer it won't be sagging bad. I think front up 2.5 and rear up 1.5 is perfect!

I'm putting 20X9's and 305/55/20's.

 

I have the 2.5"/3" autospring lift on my truck, and I really like the stance. It is a little taller in the rear so it still looks like a truck. I had just the 2.5" for a while and it looked bad. Looked like I had a pallet of concrete in the bed.

The stock lift blocks measure 1.25" on the trucks with 4 leaves. I'm not sure if the 3 leaf trucks use the same block but I would guess so. So you will get 1.75" of lift with out back the rear kit. I used a floor jack under my receiver hitch to make sure I liked the stance before ordering the rear kit.

I would recommend just getting the front then decide if you want the rear.

 

was the 2.5 hard to get in? Im having a friend that is a mechanic install for me, so tryin to get an idea as to what we can expect.

 

oh and my truck is an XLT 4x4. if that makes a difference as to which to order for the rear.

 

Yes it was hard to install. But there are easier methods than the force-it method I chose.

Does your truck have 20" wheels or max tow? I think those trucks have the 4 leaf pack. Probably best to just look underneath, but I'm not sure it makes a difference.

 

I installed a AS 2.5 lift and it looks nice for the daily communte. As soon as I tow a boat and / or load my 6.5 bed, it certainly sags at the back big time in comparison to the front. I need to to adjust the headlights, it was so bad. Hence I am looking for lifting the back too, just to compensate when loaded.
