I did 2" and it leveled out perefectly. Others say the 2 1/2" will do the same. Grab a tape measure and measure from the ground to the highest point on the rear fender well, then do the same in the front. Order the difference.

Either would be a good choice. I like the look of the 2.5" myself.

Just got a AS 2" put on w/ 3" PA BL. The 2" AS made it so the front is only 1/4" lower than the back. I'd suggest the 2". Better safe than sorry was my thought.
