2.5" level brand

is this the best product for the 2.5" lift i want in the front? I have been reading on here about daystar and autospring but what about this brand? I'm ready to buy right now but I don't want to get an inferior product.

to me it looks just like an autospring. i would just go ahead and order the autospring. i dont have one yet (just ordered it tonight) but many people have them and speak very highly of them and there only a shade over $80. check ebay.

Looks very similar to AutoSpring. I would also say to go with the Autospring. Why not go with a brand that has been tested? You're certainly not getting an inferior product with AS. Many people here have it without any problems. I have the 2" and I'm quite happy with the lift it gives(approx. 3" actual) and now the rear is only about 1" higher than the front.

I have actually allrady ordered the 1.5" AAL for the rear so I'm looking to go with the 2.5" to make it back to having a slight rake. I tow trailers often and I need the extra AAL. I like the setup on DOG'EMS truck.

Not sure what brand AAL is. I do know however, that the more you raise the front with a spacer, it puts the upper A arm at more of an angle(one of the reasons I went with the 2" kit as it puts it at a little less).
I know that the early 2.5" autosprings had issues with the upper arm hitting the coil spring and was corrected with the newer "off set" versions. Something to keep in mind with the other brand.

I have had a Daystar installed for about 2 years..no problems at all. Cannot comment on any other brand..but would go with the one the you like the most...don't think that you would have a problem with either Daystar or Autospring.
