Leveled 04-08 owners, I need your help!

So...I can't remember if way back when when I did my AS level if it was a 2" or 2.5". I know, stupid right.

So if any of you would please, could you measure the thickness of your spacer if you have a 2" or 2.5" AS level?

Thanks!

Well, a 2'' spacer isn't a 2'' lift is I think where he is going (hopefully, I know you guys have a lot more experience than I do on this one).

I have the 2.5'' AS kit, and I think my spacer measured just under 2'' out of the box, but netted closer to 2.75'' when it was installed.

Yup, made that sig just a few weeks ago...level installed over a year ago. I *think* its 2.5", but looking at my truck, it has a front rake and nothing was done to the rear? One of my friends pointed it out to me yesterday and it got me thinking and now I can't be sure!

This is embarrassing haha

You got that right!

We would be remiss, sir if we did not do our duty as fellow members and comrades to constantly remind you of that fact

PS - front rake with NO changes out back is usually an indication of 2.5" - I think.

By front rake I mean the front is lower than the rear. Not sure on the terminology there.

2.5" should be around 1 5/8" spacer.

10-4 ... NP, sir.

I get this confuded all the time. So let me rephrase - lower in front with no changes out back means it's very likely NOT a 2.5" - some other feller on here noticed a slight rise in front with a 2.5". All else being equal, of course.

2.5" - 1 5/8
3" - 1 3/4

so by logic

2" - 1 1/2

BUT..... I dont know if the ratio holds since its not a 1:1 spacer to lift

Thanks...I'll get out the ruler later today and settle this fiasco.

My thoughts exactly.

Do you still have your ebay/paypal reciept email? Be easier than breaking out the ruler.
