Complaints about Auto Spacer??

Has anybody installed the Auto Spring leveling kit and experienced ill effects? I just instaled the 2inch and am wondering how it has worked out for everybody else in the longterm. BTW the 2 inch kit got me close to 2.5..... the truck is very level!

Some have issues with ball joints wearing out quicker, but not all experience this. Not brand specific leveling kit thing, just changing supension geometry.

I have about 6k miles with my 2" AS, no problems yet.I'm not crazy about the angle on my upper control arms but the truck drives fine,nothings rubbing or wearing so I guess everythings ok.

I don't have any complaints, but I just installed a 2 inch AS yesterday and is level. I fugured that I messed up by not figuring in the weight of the spray in liner and the loaded tool box. I might change to the 1.5 later, for the time being I like the look and since I am not going to be towing anything heavy for a while it doesn't matter. The truck rides smooth and easy as it did before.

I put on the 2" AS about 12K miles and have had no issues. Ride feels the same as stock, no tire wear. The best part is I took it in to have the brakes changed to ceramic and the ford techs never even noticed since the AS is hidden behind the boot.

Hey guys i just put some Bilstein Leveling Shocks on my FX4 and wow!!!! They leveled it out , now my rear end is only about 1 1/4" higher than the front end. These shocks didnt jack up my control arms they seem to be in the same position. Maybe in a better position if thats possible. Im going to put some of the AutoSpring Blocks in the rear end to get the truck back to its stock load ablility. It may be able to pull a load but its not going to like it or look very well whil doing it.
