Thanks, but no thanks. It must not be all that great if you down- grading in spacer height,lol! I think I'm getting the 1 1/2 or 2 inch one also, because I just got the Cooper zeons in factory size, so I don't think I need all the extra lift since I didn't go with the mud tires. Are you going to get the longer shocks for the 2inch spacer, or it isn't necessary?

If you going over 1 1/2" you are going to want the longer shock... If you don't, the factory shocks will bottom out any time you hit a bump. If you look at the picture I posted. The factory leaves just the right amount of travel length sitting stock. So it would be a good idea to go ahead and replace them, Plus if you are installing the spacer, you are already there. They are not terribly hard to install at all.

Just came back from SEMA and saw Ground Force does these spacers now. They had a cool new spacer for the 2500's Sits directly on the coil and has metal inside the puck. Really cool concept and they are priced really good. Gonna get one for my buddies truck and try it out when he gets his tires.
