Will a 2"AS kit level my truck??

Ok, I got some questions. Will a 2" AS levelling kit level my 05 Screw FX4 w/o aal? I'm hoping it makes it level and not the front end higher then the rear. Has this ever happened to anyone?

It should be about perfectly level...maybe just a tad lower in front.

Yep.
You'll probably net 2.5" of lift from a 2" Autospring.

I got the 2" kit from Skyjacker for $120 cause I'm really impatient and had to have it that day and that was all they carried at the local shop. My truck sits 1/4" higher in the back and you really can't tell unless you look for it.

I installed a 2" AS on my 07 and had to install a 1.5 AAL to bring it up level with the front. I have been told by some people on here that the spring rate on the 07 is different and that is what caused the 2" kit to make my front sit higher than the rear.

I put and AS 2" on my 05 and just by looking at it, it appears nearly perfectly leveled. If I pull out the tape and measure the rocker panels front and back the front sits just about 1/2" lower. I don't like the 2.5" kits as much, they seem to have the appearance of the front being higher but they are pretty level. I think it's just the way the wheel wells are cut.

Measure your truck and realize that most people report getting .5" more lift than the kit advertises (With the Autosprings anyway).

My '06 is 2" lower in the front. It seems like some of the early '06 models and 04-05 models have more rake due to an extra leaf in the rear springs.
