Best low cost leveling kit?

I got 35's don't like the rubbing and need to do something about it. I was going the h2 route but can't seem to do it for less than $300. I want to stay $200 or less. Thoughts?

Hellbent steel spacers...i picked mine up for $100 in the classifieds.

Top Gunz Customs sells a very similar pair of spacers for around the same price.

2nd vote for Top Gun Customz-they run about $100 total with shipping. Check their website at http://www.topguncustomz.com/index.php

Thats what I was thinking... I will need a front alignment as well I suppose??? How much will that be?

I am wondering if it wouldn't be cheaper now to get the H2's?

im also running the hellbent steel spacers. they work graet and are great quality. $110 shipped to my door straight from hellbent steel. steel is what you want to go with.

i would also recommend extended bumpstops to keep your coilsprings from compressing more than they should if you bottom out the bumpstop. BDS 3" bumpstops $40.

you will also want to upgrade the shocks because the stock ones WILL top out and go bad. billstein 5100s $150. pair.

Yep thats not a bad way to go $450-500 but altogether seems like a more solid route. And you get a better ride.

But cheap is king. Just ask consumers, thats why Wally World sells Welders!!!

YIKES!!!

you have 315s and they rub the control arm? those arent even 35s. i always thought you could run 35s w/ a leveling kit?
