Which leveling kit??

I am going to be buying a leveling kit for my F150 in the next couple of days, I just had a couple of questions first. I have heard alot of people talking about the autospring kit, but I could not find it on ebay. Is this the best kit out there?? What about the one Sky Jacker or EZ Lift?? Has anyone put these in? What are the pro/cons of each of them??

Thanks guys!!
Paul

After doing a bunch of digging, about an hour, I finally found the autospring kit. Now I just have one more question, is there any pro/cons of getting either the 2" or 2.5" kit?? I was thinking about getting the 2" so that the truck still keeps a little bit of the rake. But with the way things work around me, if I get the 2" then my tires (325/60/18 Nitto Terra Grapples on 18X9 Helo MAXX6) will rub. So what do you think??

agreed, 2inch autospring perfect for 4x2. But does really
level the truck (vs leaving any noticable rake).

Just call them, tell them what you got, and what you want.

800.345.0431 (Idaho/Mountain time zone)

They'll give you the same deal over the phone that is
offered on ebay.

I just put the 2.5 Autospring on my 05 4x4 Screw in order to run 35" tires. Haven't got the tires or rims yet but at times it looked almost like the rear was sagging. Hooked my boat up to it and the back really sags. In order to offset this I just got the Skyjacker 1.5" add a leaf system, scheduled to have it installed next week.

I ended up getting the 2" autospring kit, and today I got my rims and tires mounted up. I am going to wash the truck tomorrow and then get some pictures and post them up. Thanks for all the help guys!!

I just ordered a Ford Racing Performance Parts leveling kit for my 05 screw. It is a rear leveling kit that drops the rear 2". Should be in next week. Didn't want to mess with the front end. Truck sit's high enough already for us short people lol.

I love how the truck looks now!! I ordered the 2" kit (1 5/8" spacer) because I wanted to have some rake left, well some how the truck got raised 2 5/8" out of it. This is after getting the alginment done and everything. So now I think that I am going to install an airbag kit in the rear of the truck so that when I haul my 4-wheelers or tow one of our Bobcats or my camper the truck isn't nose high. And it will still sit level. I am still going to post the pics today, the truck is all washed. I am just waiting for the dig. camera to charge.
