The reason I ask for more pictures, is that it looks like a real good looking truck, but the stance is what really does it for me. If you havent seen any of my galleries, I always try and do panorama shots, so you can get the full presence of the truck. You also said you got the 2.5" kit, which from everything Ive read, makes the bed actually lower than the cab. Id love to run a leveling kit. I had a Rough Country leveling kit on an old bronco, and it was great. I am completely suprised at how popular the Daystar, and other polyeurethane kits are here. From my experience, they WILL squeak and deform. It is not a matter of if, but more of when. The bilsteins that someone posted above intrigued me too, but I just dont see how they would work on a heavy truck.
C/N: Im a bugger, and need pictures of your truck to show how level she sits.

5100 Series - Preload Adjustable (0-2" Ride Height Adjustable)
Zinc-plated shocks that install like factory replacement shocks and are designed to correct the factory rake. The OEM spring seat is repositioned to provide more preload to the factory spring. The result is a level front to rear ride height. An extremely simple and effective solution, offering increased wheel travel while accommodating a 33" tire.
anyone tell us if this is reliable for offraod. Many thanks

I would recommend this way to go unless you want a full suspension lift. I've got a nice lift for $225 in parts and another $150 in labor.

WheelMa1, I been reading alot about how the 2.5" will actually create an "inverse" rake. However, that is not the case for me. The back is still a tad bit higher in my opinion and yesterday, for the first time since the installation of the Autosprings, I had weight in my bed. I loaded up about 7,000 square yards of fabric and it made the stance perfectly leveled. I will take more pics this weekend as I don't have accesss to a digital camera. (need to put that on the list of things to get!- next to the seat covers, dash kit, steering wheel inserts, new cluster
).
