Autospring spacer update

I ordered my 2.5 Leveling kit 3 days ago and it showed up on my steps today! I got my 06 F150 SCREW Wednesday and love it except for the stance. Took me all of 1.5 hours to install the lift and I must say.... It looks great! Going to align it in the morning then I will post some pics

I did the 2.5" Autospring leveling kit on my 04 F-150. I love it so far. I have not damaged the front differential sense installing it. Before installing the leveling kit, I encountered a rock while deer hunting, this caused the diff. cover to start leaking. No rock encounters sense. Also like I have read in earlier post's, all the alignment shop had to do was adjust the tow-in after installing the kit. Only way to go with these Ford's in my opinon. Pics are in my gallery.devilclawz

I thought the leveling kit only raised the body, not the diff.

Tom!

All I know is that after installation of the kit, I went back past the same place that I encountered the rock damage with no snag. Also heard that ford "could" complain about warrenty issues with CV joints because of the kit because they change the angle of the joints?????
This is what I have heard. what ever the case I very much like the leveling kit.

a leveling kit is a suspension kit not a body lift

Right, it should not change any thing except the look and may be the air risistance at high speed!

Woundering if the the adjustable shocks can do the same job?

The only shocks I know of that can level the ride are bilsteins (click here), but they are much more expensive than the autospring kit.

Rancho has an adjustable shock for 0-2 1/2 inch in height as well as the 0-9 postion compression dampening. they are like the blistens but they only have 2 and nothing inbetween.
