Just received my 2inch AS leveling kit in the mail today jus wanted to ask everyone who got a AS leveling kit if washers is included in the kit because I only got the spacers and nylock nuts but in the autosprings corp website it shows in the kit the spacers,nylock nuts and washers, can u guys help me out

 

tell you the truth i dont remember there being any spacers but give them a quick call and ask if they send em with it. Its been almost 3 years sense i put mine on

 

Do I need the Zinc washers to install the kit?

 

I've purchased 2 level kits from them and neither came with washers.

 

yea mine didn't come with washers it will be fine I am sure the nuts are nylon lock anyways and as far as I am concerned there is no real play up in the top perch to make these things rattle loose unless you didn't torque them down correctly

 

HiLife808,

What are you installing your leveling spacers on? I have an '09 F150 SuperCrew that I just added the same spacers on. My kit just came with the two spacers and 6 nulok nuts in a bag.

I'd be highly interested in what all your dimensions are before AND after the installation. Take a tape and measure from the ground , at the center of your tires, up to the highest point for your wheel well at all 4 tires.

I was really surprised how much higher my truck ended up being. Now I'm wondering if I should stuck with the 1-1/2" spacers. Prior to my lift I had 39" at the rear tire and 37-1/4" at the front tire. After the installation I ended up with 40-1/8" in front and 39-1/8" at the rear so now I'm higher in the front than in the rear! For some strange reason I also noticed that the driver side is 3/8" higher than the passenger side (both front and rear). And this is after the realignment, which didn't do anything to the new height measurements, it stayed the same.

Let us know what you end up with. As soon as I can figure out how I can post photos I'll edit this posting and add the before and after photos.

 

Are those measurements right after the install? How about after allignment? It could settle some. I also am thinking about the 1.5" kit. I wanna be level or slight rake, not more.

 

On my 05 i installed a 2inch and it came out level

 

Those are the final numbers after alignment. Actually the alignment didn't change any of those numbers. I wish I could post the photos here for you. I did add them to my photo gallery though so take a look and you'll get an idea as to how it turned out. I'm probably going to have to live with it even though I wanted the same thing you're after. I've heard guys post that their trucks settled after the alignment but not mine. Could be something with the '09 geometry maybe. Rather than put them out and go through the cost of a reinstall and realignment I might poke around and see if someone offers a 1/2" or 1" spacer for the rear. Even though I don't want to be going higher, that probably would be the cheapest way out.

 

Pro Comp offers .25" (stackable) spacers that come in packages of 4 for around $30.00. I don't have the part number but I'm sure you could get them if you called them. I saw another post on F150forum where the guy put them on his truck to level it out and it looked great. I went with the 2.5" for the front and the 3" block for the rear. I have a pic in my gallery and will update with better when the weather warms up enough to wash my truck.

 

If you, or anyone else, knows who sells them, I'd sure like to know. I think all that I then may need to replace are the 'U' Bolts. That would keep me from having to pay for another alignment also. I have photos in my photo gallery and am still working with Larry on how to get my account fixed so I can attach photos to my postings.

 

What size tire do you recomend for just a level truck on a stock 18" wheel with 3.73 rear?

 

see this is where i get lost haha. Tires sizes im only good with like 33s 35s 37s haha not like the numbers 325 or w.e...... Some of the other guys around here may know. But I think you can go with 35X12.50 and im not sure if you will have any rubbin issues or not. But wandell on here is great with this kind of question

 

well, I was thinking our going with a 33". I know a 35" will fit, but I dont wanna be rediculous and have that stuffed look.

 

Mine is leveled with 35's (325/60/20) and don't think it looks "stuffed"



That's Autosprings 2.5" front and 3" blocks rear
