AS Post install pics

Just wanted to share a few pics of my Supercab after installing AS 2.5 leveling kit.

After install

This is a before pic for comparison.

Front wheel clearance.
After install, alignment, and settling I measured and found the front to be 38 and 3/4 inches and the rear 39 and 1/4 inches. Actual increase in front was +2 and 7/8 inches.
I love the feel and look. Now I need to find some new tires and maybe rims.
Anyway, I am very happy with look and that is what really matters.

did you ever measure how thick the 2.5 spacer was before installing it.

Well with no matter what kit you install your going to get a little bit extra clearance so it sounds right with a 2.5" spacer he got 2 and 7/8" increase.

Thanks for all the nice comments.
Midwestoffroad: Yes, when the kit came in I measured and it was 1 5/8" flange to flange. I thought they had sent me the 2" kit, but when I contacted AS, he assured me that I had the correct kit. He says this is because of the wishbone style front suspension. Anyway, as you can see, quite a bit difference.
Dark Knight 08: You are correct. Got a few more miles on current ones, so in the meantime, I am looking. First I have to decide if I want to stay stock w/305's or move up to 20" rims and tires. I have seen some really nice tires on trucks on this site. I am pretty sure I want to stay on BFG, but might consider Bridgestones. I have had really good luck with both of these in the past.
