It seems the options are limited on the 2wd trucks, there are other brands out there but they can get expensive quick....

Check a couple of the other 2wd lift threads, lotsa good information there..... I don't know squat about the 2x's.
Seems the best way to remedy the situation is to go get a 4x2, then you'll be dually prepared!!!!

There are some DayStar coil spacer's for our 4x2's, but they are rubber or polywhatever and are VERY expensive...

http://www.summitracing.com/search/b...c&autoview=SKU

Their 2" is $129 for urethane vs. $77 for RC's which is steel I think...

Not sure if the steel or urethane spacer is better though....

i actually have the "2in poly urethane leveling kit" and living in texas my springs settled through it.. steel is the ONLY way i would go if i were to do it again.
