i dont know about the top gun cutsomz but and how the review is on them but AutoSpring is well known around here for $90 shipped and also wouldnt go anything bigger than a 2 1/2 inch spacer. I have had mine on for almost 2 years now and its fine. Leveled out the truck and got more room to stuff tires in there

I think a couple members here have them. They are fine, just don't pay $200 or $300 for a kit that is identical.

Aluminum is softer than steel. They may not last as long. Avoid the possibility and go with Auto Springs...

I had a top gunz on my '05, it works as advertised, but as previously stated, when you get upwards of 3" in the front the angles are pretty sever. With my old one, the struts would make contact with the knuckles at full extension. The autospring is slightly offset and the 2" I have on my "08 does not make contact. It is very close, but doesn't hit. Go to the autospring Corp website, they have a link to their eBay store if the above link doesn't work.
