yes, a 2011. If the kit comes with a back lift as well it will have a forward rake to it. the 2" front, 3" rear is a popular kit that gives the truck a pretty aggressive stance. Try searching for members like 'dubseed', or 'marshal' they have these setups. I can't think of anyone off the top of my head with a 2.5 front, 3" rear; but I am sure they are out there.

 

Trust me, spend the extra money and do Bilstein 5100 adj ride height struts. 20,000miles on my level and I want nothing more that to pull them out and smash them with a hammer.

With the 2.5" Auto spring, I gained almost 3.5" in the front. The spacer itself only measures about 1.75" (if is remember correctly) but because the geometry is so "hyper-extended" there is less load on the shock components and more load put on the control arms, ball joints and bushings. Because of this, there is less squat by the struts.

If you are going to go the leveling kit way, go 1.5 or 2". 35's will also go in there, but they will rub a lot. Heck, my 33s rubs.

 

One thread per subject, please. Two threads merged. If you want it moved to Suspension, just PM me. Thanks

 

I appreciate it I'll keep it in 2009-2011 thanks

 

FX4Life thanks for recommending marshal He did his different than i'm planning on doing but the stance he has is what I want but i'm not doing the bilsteins as of right now maybe down the road I will. None the less his build is awesome. But what autospring kit would give me that stance do you think or anyone else actually? I'm getting the spacers also. Still running 33"s or 35"s

 

the 2" autospring should be the same ride height as Marshal's bilsteins at the 2" setting. If there was any difference it would be so minor you would not noticed it at all..

 

Thats what im thinking also, i measured mine and the back is 1.5" higher stock

 

FYI, in case you missed it, I remember reading a thread here that stated you need to disconnect the battery if you intend on jacking up the front end by the frame. Something to do with the electronic steering controls for the '11.

Also, I have zero regrets in my choice for the 5100's. Not sure why you seem to oppose them, worth every penny extra I paid for em over spacers.

 

it's not that I have anything against them its the money factor right now! I am paying for my wedding here in july so the wife said I could get the level kit (autospring) but not the bilsteins right now!

 

Before my lift I had a 1.5" AS kit and it leveled the truck perfectly. I was able to fit 295/70/18 Trail Grapplers (34.5") on a 18x9" wheel with 25mm offset.

With a 1.5" and factory wheels a 35" tire will fit and level out. I do have pics of the level with factory wheels/tires and with the aftermarket if you're interested in seeing it.

 

yes most definitely. Anything that helps would be great!

 

As a Ford F150 rookie, do any of these leveling kits change the ride characteristics? The torsion key BS you go through to level a Chevy was an utter trip thru hell with dash breaking front end stiffness off road.

 

Also a rookie but there supposed to just level the truck out and keep the factory ride to it. I know you gotta get a front end alignment but that's all I know

 

grim reaper - your trucks looks great, how did you tint your heads/tails they look great. Did the 1.5 AS kit yield you 2" of lift. I was thinking 1.5 for my truck, but i want to run 305/55/20. did you have rub

 

If you are worried about stiffness, and off road abilities, perhaps the best choice might be the Rancho Quick Lift assemblies. They cost significantly more than the Bilsteins, but give you the ability to change the stiffness for different conditions. You can even add their "Myride" system to it to be able to adjust from the drivers seat.

I like my Bilsteins though.
