steel IMO is better just for the fact that its steel and poly after some off roading could have the possibilty of wearing down

Neither of the above. Coilover leveling kits are the best. They just hit the market for Nissan trucks. I'm thinking about prototyping some in house for 3rd/4th gen trucks.

That wasn't the question though. I would also guess that the coilover kits you propose would be significantly more expensive.

I don't care what the question was. Whenever I can try inspire someone to do something better, I always do. Who knows, maybe he has money to spend and thought his only options for his goal were some spacers.

No, just an industry employee tired of all the crappy "X aftermarket name brand" junk that comes into the shop to be replaced by the real thing. Why spend money twice or three times when you can spend just a bit more the first time?

A 'bit' more????? You ARE an optimist.

I would also point out that there are many many many folks right here on these forums that use leveling blocks of some flavor or another, without issue. Sure, there are always "better" ways to do it, but, that does not imply that you always have to have the 'best', for a truck that may or may not see some off roading.

I'm not getting into this with you. You really don't understand the topic at hand so It's just a waste of my time.
