Default going bigger! Need some GOOD spacers

I am going to purchase a set of 35" Duratracs for the winter. I am currently running 33s on the truck.

My question is I am looking for a leveling kit to clear the new rubber. It's an 8 lug so I will have no issues with clearance after I level it out.

What is a good brand of spacers? Should I go with aluminum or poly? Tried to get KORE's kit, but no love for us Magnums, there springs are for oil burners.

Going to throw some Bilstien 5100s on also. Not looking to go bigger than 3", don't want to be "one of those guys"

Daystar can be good.
Aluminum is better usually.
I think TopGunCustoms has some good stuff IIRC.

Rancho has aluminum, but comes with rancho shocks.

Skyjacker has a 2" lift using coils (+1), but I don't know if it'll get me up where I need to be. I think they might be 2500/1500 one size.

Any input is welcome

It shouldn't take much lift at all to run 35's on a 2500.
Your problem will become tire rub on steering lock, not fender I don't presume. You might look at different wheels rather than more lift.
