Adjust these according to the directions as a place to start, take out OEM, and snap these into place. If you want more or less, adjust accordingly.

I have them set to 2" for about 3 years and 20K using them.

Brilliant idea! I'll be ordering a set in the next couple days. Thanks!

Do you have stock size tires on your king ranch or what are they? Got my front lift, got your rear links and getting ready for tires soon

They are bran new in the pics.

Got your links and an autospring 2" lift installed today. No pics yet but these links are awesome and was able to achieve exactly what I wanted without sacrificing the comfortable ride.

Thanks! I'm glad they are working for you as well.
Pulled a 3 place trailer with 4 sleds on it yesterday so I wasn't able to place the load where I wanted. I bet I had over 700 lbs tongue weight and everything leveled out and pulled beautifully. I wonder how far a guy could go with it....

So I have a question. I installed a 2" level lift in the front 1.75 thick and ended up with about 3" of lift. You said your spacers were the same but mine is really high and not sure why I got so much more. Crappy pic but it's high enough to make my wheels/tires look tiny. I'll get some day shots tomorrow after work. Any thoughts?

Just noticed your spacers are 1.175 so that's the difference. They claim this gives me 2" but it's way more and has to go. Do you have a link to the ones you ordered?
