Daystar leveling kit
I ordered a daystar 1" leveling kit wanting to give my front end a slight boost. I was afraid that a 2" spacer would bring the front a little higher than the rear. I have a 2010 F150 XLT Screw and the back was 2" higher than the front at stock. When I received the kit I measured the spacer and it was actually 1 1/4". Anyway, I had the kit installed and it gave me 1 1/2" of lift. The truck looks perfectly level even though the back is still slighly higher 1/2".
My previous truck was a 2005 F150 with a 1.5" AS. When I installed the AS on my 05 I noticed that my truck did not ride as smooth as before and It also appeared that I lost some turning radius. With the Daystar, the ride actually feels better, if thats possible, and I don't find any lost of turning radius either. This is just my observations and I am not endorsing Daystar over Autospring. I believe both are good products.

Cool, keep us informed on how it looks (pics) and how works out for you. I'm in your exact boat. I don't want to put bigger blocks in the rear along with a 2" front kit. I thought the whole reason behind a leveling kit was to do just that....level the truck out, not lift it entirely, or put the nose 1" higher than the rear if you don't block it.

Joe STX, thanks for the pics
That is perfect. I'll take the rear still slightly higher. Looks great and now I'll have to bookmark this topic. Thanks again
Oh yeah, let us know if you see a slight hit in MPG's. Not that it really matters, just curious
