Just make sure you want to go 2.5" instead of 2". Lots of ppl have gone with the 2.5 to regret it and switch out to 1.5 or 2"

Just wondering why you say that people regret it?
The QLs gave me 2" in the front and 2.5" would have been too much. Some guys go 2.5" and end up adding a bigger block in the back because the front ends up being too tall. '06+ trucks have slightly less rake and the 2" seems to be safer. Not to mention a slightly less severe angle on your ball joints.

Yes, I was referring to the angle.... It is only .5" difference, but I have just heard enought ppl say they were taking out the 2.5 and going with the 2" or 1.5" to lessen that angle....
I went with 2" just to be in the middle. It will still give some extra wear, but Im willing to sacrafice that at this point.

I just put an autospring 2" kit on my 2006 Lincoln today. It was very easy to install. It took about an hour and fifteen minutes with a Ford mechanic, me and an impact gun. I really like to 2" kit, and glad I didn't go 2.5".

This is the exact look I am going for...our trucks are almost identical so it is a great reference picture for me. Will this make it too high to use an equa-lizer WD hitch? And how did it effect your ride?

Did not notice any change in ride quality. Not sure about the "equa-lizer" hitch, hopefully someone else has some input on the hitch.

Thanks fellas! I am going to order tomorrow! I am getting it shipped to my RV dealer in Michigan so I can take advantage of the free shipping and I will just take them back to Calgary with my trailer when I pick it up..
