New 2014 F150 Ecoboost with 2.5" Autospring Leveling Kit & 35's
Well I've been lurking here for a while and thought i'd make my first post a pic of new F150. We recently sold our Audi Allroad and my F350 Powerstroke to get a more suitable daily driver/tow rig for my wife. With a new baby and me working out of town, we wanted something reliable, safe, with plenty of room and the ability to tow the buggy or Wrangler LJ on the weekends. We test drove a new Diesel Grand, 5.7 Hemi Grand, 20014 F350 Powerstroke and an F150 Ecoboost. We were all flat out floored at how well the ecoboost drove, towed and the abundance of room it had over an F350. So we ordered up a 2014 F150 Lariat 4x4 Super Crew with the 6-1/2' bed, fully loaded which arrived in late March 2014. The rig tows the buggy no problem, and actually pulls the hills stronger than our chipped 7.3 Powerstroke 
, yet is still as quiet as a luxury sedan and snappy as a sports car.
This past weekend, we installed the Autospring leveling kit for our F150. We did the 2.5" front strut spacer with the 3" blocks in the rear (nets 1-3/4" lift over the factory 1-1/4" block). For wheels we picked up a set of 20x8.5 F150 Platinum wheels and ordered up some 305/60-20 Goodyear Wrangler Silent Armors which measure out at 34.45" x 12.3" - 20. We couldn't be happier with how the thing looks, it rides great, no different than stock, and did not notice any power loss from the larger tires, this thing is still as snappy as ever.
For reference here's stock vs. leveling kit & 35's

As for the blocks, they're the autospring blocks. I believe Kevin is the guy i dealt with (the owner) he called me after i placed the order online to confirm the specs on the rig. Great company to deal with, i'd definitely recommend Autospring if you're looking for a leveling kit.
