Installed my AS leveling kit today

so it took me about 2 hours to do tonight and im pretty pleased with the look.

i drove it around the block and the thing i immiediatly felt was almost like the front tires were barely getting any traction on the ground, kind of like if you loaded the bed with a ton of rocks. is this normal?

just to make sure this is the one everyone has been getting, this is the correct one right?

Yes, you need to get an alignment right away. I just installed mine on Tuesday and had my alignmant done yesturday. It was toed way out. Make the truck drive perfect now. I only put a 2" kit in mine so your s will be out even more.

yeah i know, hopefully can get in today for one.

well darnit ill have to look at it outside from farther away but i think 2.5 might have lifted more in the front now.

i had only wanted the 2" kit and i was just in a hurry to buy that kit over the weekend and didnt see that it said 2.5

Perhaps you should wait to get the alignment done after you get the 2" kit.

I agree, it looks higher in the front.

Keep it and change the rear block for a bigger one.

I already ordered the 2" kit so too late now. I didn't want to raise the rear anyway
