Default Nylon Strut Spacer / Leveling Kit

Well I finally found a 1.5" Kit after searching, It not easy finding things shipped to Canada.

So I was thinking of just getting a 2", But these 1.5" Came up looking todo.
I dont off-road rough, or much. But I also am not always the nicest to her.

They say its a Reinforced Carbon/Nylon.

EDIT: Just noticed there is Steel and Aluminum 1.5" ones Also. Same Seller, So I think he just put them all up.

Aluminum

Only about a $10 Difference. Same Shipping cost.

I also see some Alum ones come with a Shock/Strut Extender, is that needed?

I plan to get the Alum on, but I want to make 100% sure I dont or do need that extender, I dont think I do. Before I buy it.

You don't need a strut extender on the Dakota.
FYI- I saw the 1.5" Trailmaster leveling kit (which I have installed) for $85 with $20 shipping to NS.

The shipping is $13.89 SH + $20.98 Tax & Duty ($34.13) + another $9.95 Delivery and Handling Charge, Making it $129.95 Total Cost
I thought it was $20.98 at first glance.

The Aluminum one I posted only costs $109, Will be shipped with USPS so will most likely have no customs fee, since it wouldnt be a large package.

Cruel world, Doesnt like Canada lol

You might want to consider getting the steel one because the alum puck is gonna weld itself to the top plate of your strut. If its steel at least you have a shot at removal and reuse if the need happens.
