Question Which Spacer

Okay I know this question has probably been asked and answered a million times but I need some help to decide which spacer to use in the front to get extra lift. First off I already have 6" fabtech kit which you all know it sit lower in the rear (which I cant stand). So i just ordered the skyjacker 4" aal today to go with the spacer you guys help me pick out and hopefully that will level my truck. So everyone list your pros and cons of the spacers you have or recommend.

thank you

If you are gonna use a spacer, I'd go with the Autospring spacer just because of ease of installation.

So I assume autospring is one that just bolt to the top of the coil assembly. The guys at 4wheel parts told me the urethane spacers of a higher quality is that true?

Right, the Autospring bolts on top. What 4Wheel Parts told you may have something to do with all of the vendors they deal with make the two piece urethane spacers

Poly vs metal is a preference. I like poly so I don't have any metal on metal but I haven't heard of any problems with metal to metal. What you need to be more concerned with is the fact Fabtech doesn't recommend combining their kit with a leveling kit because the kits not designed for the extra 2.5 and will result in cv angle differences, along with camber issues causing problems and eating through tires (heard this from fabtech directly). On my truck I put half of skyjacker kit which is the part that replaces the crappy oem rubber and it gave me an extra 1.25"
