You could replace those saggy worn out stock front springs with some skyjacker D25 springs. They will level out the truck and give you a better ride. Thats the right way to do it.

say goodbye to any comfort in your ride....with a leveling kit it will feel like hitting 40 year old railroad tracks when u run over a bump in the road
Where do you guys keep getting this information????
If you are useing a "Spacer" and not a new coil spring, it is IMPOSABLE to change the factory ride!!! You are still useing the factory spring and the only thing changed is the spacer between the spring and the truck.

Mayfair, when the weather breaks here I am taking my Top Gunz 2" spacers out and putting new springs in the front to get the lift. I don't like the rusty look coming down my springs from the spacers. I will give you the spacers if you would like them just pay shipping. I think they will fit, my truck is a 2005.

All the powder coat is coming off and leaving rust streaks down my coils. They are only 6months old.

Did you put the rubber spacer back in between the spring and the spacer when you installed them? You are supose to re-use the stock rubber spacer.

Thanks a LOT for the offer !! I'm going to take you up on that for sure !!

59 - are you sure that spacers from 3rd gens will fit 2nd gens?

ENERGINERBUZZY IS RIGHT, IT WILL NOT CHANGE THE RIDE. THE SPRING PRESSURE WILL STAY THE SAME. ALL IT DOES IS LOWER THE MOUNTING POINT. I HAVE THE 2". I LOVE IT. IT LOOKS GOOD, DRIVES GOOD AND RIDES GOOD. THE ONLY BAD THING WITH THE 2" IS WHEN YOU HOOK TO A HEAVEY TRAILER, THEN ITS REALLY LOW IN THE BACK. IT STILL HAULS JUST AS MUCH. IT WILL BE HARD TO MAKE IT LEVEL FOR ALL THE TIME. JUST FIGURE OUT IF YOU WANT TO BE LEVEL EMPTY ARE LOADED
