Is the bed level ???

I found this to be true, place a bubble level on the bed and it should be very level. You should probable just place a 1" - 1 1/2" under the rear to fix it.

yes it would be about that much higher...i went ahead with the 2.5 Autospring and installed a frontier-gear grill guard. the weight on the GG, brought it down that .5", so now it sit almost dead even. (little lower in the front).

I just installed the 2" AS on my '06 screw and the few that have seen it so far think it looks a tad higher in the front - I agree. I've taken no measurements yet, but I'm glad I did not go for the 2-1/2".

did you get an alignment after installing it?

mine settled about an inch after putting in the 2.5" autospring. i had daystar in my '04 fx4 and i thing the a.s. a little higher. the truck sits very high in the front but i'd say its quite level. i haven't checked but the wheel openings could be higher in the front. if anyone owned an older k-5 or 1500 series blazer or jimmy remember how much larger the front wheel openings were? i love the autosprings for the ease of installation. daystar made the other truck look good and more comfortable to be in.

Yes, I believe they just adjusted the camber a little to get it back to specs. Installation and the alignment totaled $200.00
