I found this looking on ebay, its a leveling spacer. Anyone ever use this?
If so, is it dependable?

That looks like one of those piece of crap rubber spacers that you wedge between the coils of your springs. They will destroy your springs in short order. Get a set of Daystar spacers.

Why so? I measured it out and my truck would need a 2 inch lift up front to be leveled?

well first those coils say they are 2" in some places but also say they are 2.5", the measurements are slightly deceiving. i know i sit at level with my 1.5" daystar. you can always get it, put it on and see. then if its too tall get some rear blocks and you may see if im selling the new ones i bought since i might get the fabtech kit soon

the daystar spacers work great and level the truck for a bit, then they settle in and leave you tail high. Im going to switch to lift coils soon to try to get back to level

That's what i figured, that's why i'd rather just go straight to neither lift coils, or those other spacer things that mount to the truck.

the op has a 97-03 F150 truck,unlike your 05 F250. Also your post doesnt make sense no matter what truck you drive

OP- I just checked the first link you put up. Those spacers are horrible, they are not full circles, are weak aluminum that will break, and not thick enough to give you more than 1" of lift. If you end up going with coil spacers like those go with the daystars.
