2" vs. 2.5"

Just wanting to see your opinion on 2" leveling kit vs. the 2.5" kit? Just wanting to see some pics of the 2" with some 33" tires? Also like to see the 2.5" lift with some 33" tires (although a lot more common and i have seen a ton of these) Also can i see some pics of ya'll running some 35" tires on your leveling kit? Thanks all!

I went with 2'' because I was planning on towing a boat and some other things and I didnt want the rear to look like it was dragging. Still didnt get the boat but im happy with my set up. Boat still might come next year.

I got a 05 screw lariat 4x4 with the 2" auto spring leveling kit, and 35x12.5 BFG mud terrains on my stock rims and they do not rub. Check them out and let me know if you have any ?'s/

I am running a AS 2.5" with stock tires. I plan on going to 33's real soon. Anyway, check my gallery for more pictures. BTW? My truck sits perfectly level. I had no need for any other lift to make it level.

Mercedes, I had to use the 2 1/2" kit on my '04 because the rear sat so high. I have pics in my gallery of 33's and 35's on aftermarket wheels after it was leveled. Have 35x12.5 BFG AT's on now, no rubbing and rides great.

I have been looking around at different brands of leveling kits. I think I am going with a 2" leveling kit. What should I watch out for/look for when purchasing. I don't want to get a cheap one and have problems down then road. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Go with Autospring. That's what most of the people here use.
