Default Hell Bent Steel Leveling Kits

I've had their site booked marked for a few months now because of the price on their leveling kits which is $65. My question is has anyone heard anything about these guys or a reason why I should stear away from them. I don't have a lot of money right now and this seems to be the cheapest solution for a leveling kit.

Quite a few people on DF have them. And I've never heard one complaint. I bought mine from Top Gun Customz, and had no prob with them either.

Well assuming I don't hear any major cons I'll be ordering mine here in a few days with hopes of fitting 33"s without rubbing.

I have absolutely zero complaints about the HBS spacers. I can only praise them. What sold me was they held up to the diesel application so I figured anything I could put my 1500 through, there is no reason it wouldn't hold up. I have had mine on for a year and still look brand new since they powdercoat them. Trust me, for the money you spend on them and the build quality of the spacer, you will not be disapointed one bit!!! My buddy saw them and the next week ordered a set for his truck.

IIRC, you can stick 35's with no fender rub. The only other factor, which has nothing to do with the coil spacers, is the width of the tire and the offset of the wheels you are using. If the tires are wide, without the correct backspacing, they could rub against the control arms.

When I was rotating my tires the other day I put on my friends 33"s (he's on 37"s" and they rubbed a little on the plastic on the inside. I'm not sure of the exact size but they stick out a good 2 - 3 inches from my fender. Assuming they don't rub after a leveling kit hes going to sell me two of the those tires for cheap (one blew out and the other has holes in it from a board with nails someone put in a mud hole, he slimed both of them and the one blew out..maybe due to the slime?) so I just have to get another set of rims and 2 of those tires. I plan on going with an offset rim, not sure of the exact size yet but I'll figure that out when I get the money.

If you want to get the Hell Bent Steel ones check on ebay. They sell them on ebay for $65 with free shipping.
