i dont know much about them..but..

I would suggest you look/ check this 2 items out.. autosprings or Dayster leveling kit..they are most popular at this time for our truck.

I have Autospring leveling kit 2" (actual measure spacer is 1 5/8") that will raise front approx 2 1/4".

Do some search and you ll find ton of infos

Thks yoman,

quick question though... did you install the autospring kit yourself?
if you did, how did you get the entire shock/strut assembly back into position cause' it's now basically 2" longer.

did you use a pry bar???

i found the autospring for sale on e-bay after posting my first msg. i think i'm going to go with autospring cause' it's about $200 less than the truxxx kit and it looks to be the same thing.

thks.

brabus, check out my post https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/s...d.php?t=297468i bought this lift from rockymountainsusp.com IT IS LISTED AS A 2'' LIFT BUT I DIDN'T GET QUITE THAT MUCH AS MY POST EXPLAINS. THE REASON I CHOSE REVTEK IS ACCORDING TO THE SALES REP. BECAUSE THIS SPACER IS ALUMINUM THERE IS NO SQUEAKING PROBLEM. AND ACCORDING TO THEM SOME OF THE LIFTS THAT USE URETHANE SPACERS DEVELOP A SQUEAK AFTER SOME MILES ARE PUT ON IT. I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS TRUE OR NOT BUT THAT'S WHAT I WAS TOLD. AS FAR AS GETTING THE STRUT BACK IN PLACE I WAS ABLE TO PUSH THE LOWER CONTROL ARM DOWN WITH MY HAND TO ALLOW ENOUGH ROOM TO REINSTALL THE STRUT.
HOPE THIS INFO HELPS AND IF THE LINK ABOVE DOESN'T WORK IT CAN BE FOUND ON PAGE # 5 THE TITLE IS "REVTEK LIFT THOUGHTS AND PICS"

Autospring is MUCH EASY to install than all..

be aware that Autosprings offer 2 kits, 2 1/2" or 2" so i chose 2".

All you do is raise up front, remove the tires etc put spacers on top of it then do backward instuction...


I paid $115 for it!

Its just steel spacers and nuts thats it.

Dayster leveling kit required some tools and more time than Auto springs.

I havent install it cuz of no time .

YOMAN!

Are the Autospring kits that easy to install versus the Daystar? Does anyone have a copy of the instructions they can post?

On E-bay, search "Autospring" looking into the title and description. There are 4-5 kits listed now.
