That is what I though, I have yet to talk to someone that has installed the Autospring spacer between 1.5" and 2" that has had a bad results from it, it's when you get bigger than that that the control arms start being at too steep and angle and the ride starts to suffer, but with the kits like th 1.5", the ride is actually improved. So it all depends on what size spacer you put in.

Ok, I got the parts and had them installed yesterday at the Ford Dealership. I LOVE THE LOOK. The truck sits perfect. I had the kit and new carbon fiber brake pads out on, and when I went to pick it up there was a few people checking it out. The dealer had it parked in front for everyone to see. The accessories lady was taking pictures, and asked where I ordered it form and for how much. The mechanic said he was really impressed with the design and that after it was installed it almost didn't even need an alignment. He said everything was within factory specks except the toe in. They are going to offer the product in there after-market department.

Hey, I'mback, how does the ride feel? Is it more choppy? Better, the same, or worse ride wise comfort level?

I just got my kit in and I was wondering something..... was it supposed to come with instructions? I am pretty good with working on stuff to figure it out myself but just thought it was kind of odd.... even looks like it has instructions in the picture.
