I want to say hey to everyone. I'm new to the forum. I got a few questions about leveling kits. I was thinking about the 3in strut lift kit from skyjacker, but I heard it messes up the arms and boots pretty bad. I was also thinking about an autosprings 2'' cause I heard the the 2.5'' will cause a lot of rub and wear. I know that skyjacker makes a 2'' but its aluminum. It is not as strong as steel, but it doesnt rust as fast. Also when I do carry stuff it can be pretty heavy. could put an aal in the back but i heard it can make the ride stiffer and will start to squeak and knock. how much lift will it give me? I've read almost everypost in the forum on leveling and need to know, i'm trying to order everything now so I can put all of it on when i get home from iraq. I have a 2006 scab fx4. just stock now, but i'll post some pics when i get a chance. if anyones got a scab with a leveler on the newer model let me
thanks

 

AS has an improved design that eliminated the wear issue!

 

how do you like your autosprings. Do you need to have the tunes with the 3'' af1

 

go with a 2.5'' AS and an AAL, the AAl will give you about 1.5'' out back but will drop the front a half, so the 2.5 will work well. I have the setup and theres no wear at all after 10k miles

 

The AS is a lot of bang for your buck in my opinion . It's an easy, inexpensive install with big visual results . I have had zero issues with the AS kit. Don't forget you will need to have your alignment done after the level kit is installed .
The 3" AF1 does not require tunes but I'm glad I got them, they compliment one another very well.
