Question What brand or type leveling kit??

Is anyone runnig the 2.5" leveling kit from top gun customz? They indicate their spacer does not require a spring compressor to install and they have a patented product with lifetime warranty. They are also cheaper at $80. They also claim the truck spring is not preloaded as in the poly kits.

What about Donahoe 2.5" leveling kits? They claim their kit does not stress the ball joint like others do. Although much more pricey at $209 and looks to be abit more difficult to install.

Or appears the standard may be Tuff Country or Daystar.

Comments please
Thanks!!

The standard around here will most likely be the Autospring. I payed $78 shipped for my 2.5" spacer. No need for a spring compressor. It took me about 2 hours to install it very easy. I have no experience with the others you stated.

Sounds like the Top Gunz kit is a copy of the Autospring kit. I'd go with that type because of ease of installation. The bottom line is everyone claims their kit is the best, but they are basically the same.

The Top Gunz kit is the exact same thing as the Auto Spring. When I ordered mine from Top Gunz they said they had the patent first on the spacer and they where making a deal with Auto Spring to also sell the product.

I'm planning on using the Bilstein 5100 preloaded shocks to level mine out. That is as soon as the factory shocks crap out oh wait I think they came that way out the factory door haha. Bilstein 5100 series all around should make for a better ride too. Just my two cents if you gonna level it why not make it ride better and save your ball joints too.

I forgot to mention this is for the 04 and later models only.
