I am looking to put a level kit on my pickup along with an add a leaf in the back for a little better stance. I have been looking around and there are many types of spring spacers. I wanted to know what you guys suggest. I assumed steel would be good, but have also seen good brands selling polyurethane and some nylon ones also. I see a few of you prefer the HBS steel ones. I just wanted to know if they are that much better than the other materials and why. Oh and I don't do too much off roading but I like to have fun every once and a while.

 

HBS because they work, they're quality pieces, and they're cheap. It's not really a big deal which brand you get, they all work. But HBS was easy to deal with, plus you get a cool sticker with your spacers!

 

They are kind of what I am leaning to, but I didn't really know the pros and cons between the materials of the different brands.

 

Like I had just said, it really doesn't matter if it's made of rubber or metal. They're simple spacers, no need to overthink this.

 

That's what I thought but just wanted a second opinion. Some stuff it isn't good to go cheap on, some stuff it's all the same.

 

I'll 2nd HBS. I have the 2" ones. Not a single problem on or off (the little I do) road or while plowing.

 

You could try replacement coils for a 2500 that's what I got and am going to put on. They will be a little harsher ride though along with add a leafs. Maybe some longer shocks wouldn't hurt too.

 

Yeah I thought about 2500 coils too. I go back and forth about that.

 

I went with the 2500 springs up front, cheap and easy and I am happy.
Brand new progressives ran me under $100 delivered.
I gained exactly 1.75"
I went with a used donor leaf for the rear that gave me 1.25"
Truck sets level.
The things I would have done different would be:
Standard 2500 springs, because I would prefer a little stiffer ride.
A better donor leaf for a touch more lift.
Better replacement shocks because I went cheap and bought Procomp hydro's.
