they're both achieving the same thing- both using 1/4" steel- granted, AS isn't powdercoated, but w/e i didn't buy my truck to be a show truck- if you could care less about the shape, i see no prob. with AS- if you want ReadyLift's triangular design- go with that...

Hi
Tbirtd, I'm gonna go ahead and ask one question in your post, hope isn't a problem, thank you
.
With like 5000Miles, I went to a Work Shop to check some leveling options and they had their own spacers, ofcourse, nothing fancy, I think they just put 2 of those cylinders(spacers) on top of the Coil.
They put them on and I liked it very much.(you can see the photo)
Now, after like 8 months and now with 20000Miles, some noises started to come up progressively during the last months, the noises are on the front.
This noises are clunk!! clunk! every time the truck has some lightly shake to the left and right.
I also feel the staring wheel gets stiff when turning and some bumps are on the way.
I took the truck to the work shop and they find out(so far) thet some lower screws that connect the stabilizer bar woth the "A" bar had their joints gum all flufy(bland, soft), they even pulled the bar with the hand just to check and the noise was there.
they told me those screws needed to be replaced.. etc etc, well ok.
So I ask the forum:
Is that normal?
Would a Leveling Kit like the AutoSpring do the trick without getting those noises or wearing the rubbers?
I mean, what extra accesories could a leveling kit have besides the spacers themself that make the leveling the right way(I haven't seen a leveling kit)
If that so, I supose replacing the screws and gettin a leveling kit solve the problem?
Thank you for your help.
