leveling

OK the Daystar uses a poly spacer, Revtek uses a billit spacer...

What does Autospring use?

Why is it so much better and what are the differences?

My local Les Schwab sells the Rancho spacers. What is it made out of? I cant even find any info on the Rancho kit.

I like the stock look... I was thinking of raising the front with the 2 inch spacer kit.... but the stock setup suits me fine, a bit of a racy dumped off sporty kind of look. I guess its really a matter of what ever floats your boat.

Autospring uses a fabricated steel spacer on TOP of the strut assembly. This means the strut assembly does not have to be taken apart (spring removal and re-installation) to install the poly spacers, as with Rancho, Daystar etc.

So is the conscensus that the Autospring is the best leveling kit?

What are the pros and cons of the Revtek vs. Daystar vs. Autospring besides the ease of installation?

Good luck, I have tried to ask the same questions as you with little response. I think nobody really knows for sure and this was debated about for some time awhile back. My advice is search for daystar, revtek, autospring and the like, read what had been posted and make your decision that way. You will likely have little luck asking for help on this topic from my experience. Just look to what has already been said.

I’ll be installing a set of Auto Spring 1 ½” spacers next week. I will let you know how it goes! This ebay address will show you what they look like.

If you think there is a lack of info on raising the front to level, you haven't searched for info on lowering the rear ;-)

Why is the Autospring kit sold on Ebay only? I cant seem to find them at any 4x4 store. Are they just a small private shop?

So 1.5 or 2? I have read the 1.5 is better. Why? does the 2" lift the front too much? Coud a guy use a 2" for the front and then install a 1/2" block in the rear?
