autospring kit superior?

Hi everyone I am new to this forum, been on the cobra and mustang forums for years, anyway there are a lot of nice trucks on here. I have used the search function and still not found the answer to my question, so I am hoping someone can share their experience with me.

Is the autospring 2.5" leveling kit superior to the other kits due to their claimed "offset"

I can get the skyjacker kit locally and wondered if it was worth the wait for the autospring

Gonna come down to personal preference. We always install the skyjacker's here because it's polyurethane and avoids the metal to metal contact. No way autospring is superior to skyjackers but probably not inferior either. Disadvantage to poly is you have to disassemble the shock from the coil to insert the bottom polyurethane but it does get rid of the crappy factory oem rubber which wears out pretty fast. Install time for autospring is about 45mins to an hour whereas skyjacker is gonna take 1.5-2 hrs and you'll need a heavy duty strut compressor to pull it off. If you're taking it somewhere then go with skyjacker and if you're doing it yourself the go with autospring or readylift.

Thank you, that is exactly what I wanted to know, I am having a truck lifting speciality shop do it and they wanted to use the skyjackers
