Autospring Kit and BFGs

Went ahead and installed the Autospring 2.5" front kit along with 3" blocks in the rear this past weekend. The install took a bit longer than I anticipated, but I'm very happy with the outcome. I think the height is perfect. Also had 285/65/20 BFGs mounted and balanced today. After much research, I'm thrilled with the look that I achieved. Mostly wanted to post so others can see pictures and help with their decisions on what they want their truck to turn out looking like. No complaints thus far with this setup.

I will also say, if you are comfortable with changing oil, plugs, etc., installing a leveling kit is something you can handle. Many times people become discouraged and end up hiring someone to handle the work. Now, if you don't know a strut from a caliper, then find a friend that does and have them help you. But, a leveling kit is definitely something that can be done in the driveway on a Saturday or Sunday with the right tools. The worst part of the install for me was actually getting the upper ball joint nut off and back on. I also went ahead and dropped the entire lower control arm to make things easier. It takes a little time, but it makes removing the strut a lot easier. And, with adding a leveling kit and new tires, an alignment afterwards is required anyhow. Just my 2 cents.
