Looking to level out my rig, what spacer is better- poly, or steel?
what do the majority of people run and which brand?

thanks in advance

i have a BDS poly spacer and it has worked out great. looks good and I can tell the ride is just a tad softer than normal.

i bought one sevrl mths ago and never installed it...did u do it yourself and how diffclt was it....thanks

 

I did the steel one on mine which is an '02, but I don't think the front suspension is any different on the 03 4x4's. I took the sway bar loose when I did mine and it went back together pretty easily. Had to take the factory jack and push the axle down a little to get the coil and spacer back in. It's a fairly easy procedure, but you'll need a good jack and some tall jackstands.

 

I would go with the steel spacers. I've read elsewhere that the plastic ones don't hold up well with the heavy diesel motors. I plan on installing a steel set myself, best price I've found to date is $129....have you found better?

 

found some on e-bay for 90 with 20 s&h. they are steel with a lifetime warrenty by BDS.
they have a 2" and a 3", what is needed ?
is the 3 too tall, *** low?

thanks for the info

The 2 inch was perfect on my 2nd Gen. Made it exactly level. I haven't seen any new ones around here with a leveling kit installed, so I can't say for sure, but i've never seen a 3 inch kit for sale. All the leveling kits for the 2nd gen. are 2 inchers.

 

2" is perfect. I haven't seen a 3" kit. I went with Tuff Country steel spacers @ $129 from Suspensionconnection.com. Click below for a couple of pics. Mike

Hey mike did you ever have the 315's on before the spacers??? Would they fit?

 

Yes I did have the tires prior to the lift. I had no problems with rub. It's amazing how large a tire you can get under these trucks. I did the spacers for aesthetics only.

 

Anyone have a link for some coil spacers that can be installed on a 4x2? I'd like to lift the front end of my truck up a couple of inches. It seems WAY too low. :

 

Hoss, since I've been in Aggieland (in physics class as we speak ), I have been told by several people that you can put a hockey puck or two on top of the front coil to help lift the front end up on a 2x4.

 

Interesting. I think not. :

If you don't quit playing on DTR during physics you're gonna be taking it again next semester. Trust me. ;D

 

you know whats funny ive actually seen some moron do this to his truck........when he stopped the hockey pucks split and the front end of his truck was destroyed...... i was laughing so hard i ruined my boxers

 

Hoss, I checked all the lift sites I know, and none of them had any spacers for a 2wd 2500 or 3500. ??? ???
