Default Leveling kit opinions

hey again guys,

i hate to beat a dead horse, but which way should i go, coil spring spacers or torsion bar leveling kit????? i want to level my truck out but i have a great riding truck now and don't want to lose that.....

so, maybe there are others that wonder which way to go.. i have read some posts and threads about coil spacers and people say that their ride got rough and tires wore unevenly....

just if you have anything that might make this decision easier, it will be appreciated...

thanks....

I ended up going with the coil spacer kit from fatbobs garage, the ride seems to be the if not a bit smoother(that may be do to the fact that i also changed the shocks at the same time (procomp es9000 I think not sure on the number))

How the hell is this even a choice? You either have a coil over front (all third gen 4x2s or 06+ 4x4s) or you have a torsion bar front (02-05 4x4s) if you have a 1500 truck...
