Where to find 3" metal front end leveling spacers for our trucks?

I had a set of [what I believe to be] 3" metal Pro-Comp front end leveling spacers on my last truck, and I'm having a hell of a time finding a similar set online. I want them to be metal and 3" in height. I found some on Ebay made by the Ebay store itself, but would like to find some with a reputable name brand behind them. Can anybody help? Thanks.

Do y'all think that 3" spacers or 2" spacers make the truck look better?

IMO, 2" is a big change! Makes it LOOK level, even though it's still about 1/2" lower. I think 3" would look nose high....not to mention the headache of needing longer shocks and realignment!
Have never seen 3" kit for just the front. Suspect what you had was 2"?

I have 3" Warn Black Diamond spacers, new.
Was going to use them on mine, but went with the Cepek Long Arm Kit.
Been sitting in the box for several years taking up space.
PM me if interested.

Skip the 2 or 3 inch spacers and just get a custom coil from coil spring specialties. ($300) I have 2" daystars on my truck and they made the ride a good bit stiffer because of the stock control arms and shocks. Also 2" is about the max that the stock suspension can take and your axle will be pulled back a weee bit too much with 3"s. Oh and you'll need an adjustable track bar as you axle will not be centered. I can only imagine how stiff the ride would be with 3" and stock suspension. Just my 3 cents.


I just replaced my front shocks with the 0-3" Bilstiens and it help the ride out a good bit. Alot less jarring. I plan on a CSS 3" coil, ordering me some 3" control arms and using my current Bilstiens and as for the rear, a 1" block will be fine. This is a cheap, yet very good way of getting a lift and a better ride.

Well, after thinking about it some more, I think mine were either 2" or 2.5", not 3". SuperDave had some interesting ideas, but I'm not willing to spend that kind of money on lifting at this time. $50 spacers worked just how I wanted em to on my last truck, so that's what I'm going to try to achieve again.

Thats exactly why I bought the 2" Daystars because I couldn't afford the above setup at the time. Hopefully I'll get those goodies someday, but for right now I gotta get my tranny BUILT.


I would stick with 2"s with a stock suspension.

here

these are quality spacers and they make 3" spacers, I can say this cause I am actually selling my 2" spacers there in the classified section. Quality welds and steel. I opted to go with the spring & shock combo.

Those were 2" spacers I gave you. You've had the new truck for a couple of days now and already your buying stuff for it. Your worse than I am. I waited at least a month before killing my account.
