Try measuring your gap between rear tire and fender. Next measure gap between front fender and front tire. Subtract and that will give how much you want to raise front. You will not need new shocks! Boyd

I just put a 3inch on mine. You can check my gallery. The angles are a little sharp, but its ok. If you plan on putting a suspension lift on, i would just save your money, but thats just my opinion. Ive had mine for about 2 months and now im out the money for that. Im gonna lift hopefully soon! Oh and the supercrews like mine dont need a full three inches unless you plan put a AAL on.

You should stick with a 2" if you do a lot of off roading Or save your $ for a bigger lift.

big smokey- lets get some pic`s of your angles with that 3"

Levelling Kit

I just added the AutoSpring 2" kit to my 2008 F-150 KIng Ranch and absolutely love the look and feel. No new shocks required and not interested in adding monster meats, so it was perfect for me. Good luck.

I have been seeing that if i have a 07 2wd reg. cab I should do a 3" is this true or should i just go for the 2 1/2" AS? If the 3" is better which brand is the best? Thanks

I recommend the 2" Autospring for your setup, unless your going for maximum lift for cheap. Then go with the 2.5" with a add-a-leaf.

I went with a Autospring 2.5" kit on my '06 FX4 and it sits perfectly level. You can't beat it for the price! Under $100. More pics in my gallery.

I ordered the hell bent steel 2.5" kit on ebay for 69 free shipping and i have to say that this is a great product. Its beefy, came with very clear instructions with pics and a sticker. It was very easy to install and my 06 xlt scab sits perfectly level. Its a huge improvement over stock. The ride did not change one bit, except sitting behind the wheel it appears i have a lift. the front sits noticeably higher inside the cab, but its cool. I did my reseaqrch too before i bought mine and HBS seemed to be the best in price and product.

Curious as to your findings on HBS vs the AS.
