I'm confused. It's not different than a stock truck with a 2" leveling kit.

I'll beg to differ. After removing my 2" AS and installing the Bilsteins set at 2" my truck now sits noticeably lower in the front. I didn't measure, but it's def not as high. This could be that the AS added more than 2" and the Bilsteins are closer to a true 2", everyone seems to get different heights out of the spacers.

People just like to hate and bash other's posts... maybe they're just trying to rack up their post count. The join date and post counts do provide some useful info.

Just as scorpio said, not all 2" leveling kits are created equally. They pretty much all provide a slightly different amount of lift. The difference in the amount of lift they provide is a very small number, but when you consider the fact that your right in the neighborhood of having your truck sit slightly higher or lower in the front, or perfectly level... this small amount could make a difference in your truck's overall stance.

EDIT:

Here's thais0n's truck w/ Bilstein 2", 305/50R20 tires, and 20x9 wheels.
