What is the best spacer to lift the front? I have a 2005 F-150 4x4 Supercrew...

On Ebay I see there is a company selling a new re-designed offset version. It allows for more suspension articulation and gives you complete upper control arm to coil spring clearance. This kit is manufactured in America by AutoSpring Corp. Ebay item number: 8027575869

Is off-set better than the standard spacers?

This Company seems to have a good history. Just wanted to see what anyone had to say about this set up. They also have a 2 1/2 in offset, but I am leaning towards the 2 inch. All I want to do is get Nitto Terra Grappler - LT295/70R17D1 on my stock rims "17 inch chrome clad". Will this work?

 

Several members here have the Autospring spacers and are happy with them.

 

I just put the Auto Spring 2" in my SuperCrew, actual lift was closer to 2-3/8". Really both the AS (steel) and the EZlift (aluminum) do the same thing. Take your pick.

 

Hey at the end of this month there is a new leveling kit comming out might want to consider it.
I seen how it was made it looks alot more solid than the others and they were more concerned about how much the angle of the upper arm in relation to balljoint wear along with the alignment spec consideration so they decided to make a curtain size level. I'm going to go with them as soon as it comes to market.

 

Is AutoSpring Corp coming out with a new spacer -or- is it another company? Do you have a web site on it?

 

No this is a new front kit from a new comp. and it raises the front just right. They tested several hieghts and notice that to high just doesn't look right. If you look close at a over extended front lift the nose of the truck in relation to the ground doesn't look right. This kit will be made from solid steel not 1/4" thick material.

 

Tonka357,

You've been posting about this great new leveling kit all over the place. I assume it's your shop or company bringing it out. If it's so good how about some details, price, pictures, etc.?

Right now there are 3 choices in design to level the front.
1. AS or EZ, spacer for the whole strut assembly. Low cost, easy to install.
2. Daystar, + others, coil spring spacer. Low cost but you need a spring compressor to install them in the strut.
3. Donahoe, + others, replace the entire strut assembly. Higher cost.

Tell us about this mystery lift that is so much better.

 

No it's just another option thats all. My 2005 2wd f150 is going in toward the end of the month so when i get to that point i'll show pictures. The other products are great also but this product approuches the leveling alittle differently just keeps it closer in spec than the others.

 

Do you have the company name... How did you find out about it? Any more info?

 

I still don't get it. You apparently know enough to think it's better than all of the others but give no details at all. As far as the best hight for looks, that's a personal choice for everyone to make. There are various hights available, take your pick. The Donahoe strut is adjustable, 0" - 3".

 

I agree...
