Skyjacker Leveling Kit??

Does anyone have any info on the Skyjacker leveling kit as far as the quality and the ride? I've heard a lot of negative things about the daystar kit so i am trying to stay away from that one. Any info would be appreciated!!

Pretty sure the Skyjacker kit is not poly, but steel like the AS kit. Why pay 3x as much?

Pay 3x as much for what? My local truck accessories store said that the Skyjacker kit installed would run me about $300. Is that to much?

The Skyjacker leveling kit was originally a polyurethane copy of the Daystar kit. They later redesigned it and it's now a red painted metal design like the Autospring. Honestly, they are all about the same. It's pretty hard to make a bad metal spacer.

The Skyjacker kit at my local shop was over $200 just for parts. The AS is $80. And they are pretty much the same thing.

Let us know how it works out though.

I got ya. Well then no need to pay $300 for the Skyjacker if Autosprings is pretty much the same thing. Great info, I will probably definitely be going with the AS then!!
