Leveling Kit???

I recently bought a leveling kit from Top Gun Customz. It says its a 2.5 " kit. This kit is like the AS style kit. I received it in the mail today and opened it. The spacers only measure 1.5'" wide! Is there something that I am missing here? Shouldn't they be 2.5" wide? Thanks for the help..

you sure your measuring the whole thing not just the gap in the middle? I don't think they make it in a 1.5".

No the whole thing is 1.5 ". I did hear back from someone that there AutoSpring 2.5" leveling Kit measured 1.75" so maybe there is something I am missing about the spacer. maybe it doesnt have to be 2.5" wide to get that much height.

Hey Rolo - I like the wheels and tires - looking for some on mine at the moment. Where did you get them done / how much? + have you got spacers to make them stick out from the truck? if so What spacers. would they have fitted without the leveling kit? + is it just the leveling kit you have or is the back raised as well.

Thanks

spent about 2g's mounted, balanced and shipped, and got them from 4wheelparts.com. There are no spacers. The wheels have 4.5in of backspacing and are 18x9. I just have the leveling kit in the front, 2.5" AS. I had to do some trimming and there is no way they would fit without the leveling kit.

its all based on leverage...the 2.5" kit for autospring is 1.75" actual. when it is installed, the suspension changes net approximately 2.5-3" lift, hence the 2.5" name... the 2" kit is only about 1.25" actual.
