poly vs. metal spacers

hi was just looking into buying a 2.5'' leveling kit for my 07 f150 and was wondering if there is a ride difference or any difference at all besides the material between polyurethane and aluminum/steel. appreciate all or any feedback. thanks.

there is no difference, some prefer the poly spacers, some prefer the billet spacers.

I agree. The only difference is the one piece metal spacers (like Autospring) are much easier to install.

I've had both and there is no major difference in quality or ride.

ive been told (not sure how true it is or not) that the poly spaces over time will break down a little? again not sure how true it is though

I had a set of urethane Daystar spacers on a Jeep for 3 years withou any problems. It's a myth probably started by the makers of metal spacers.

the only thing about poly is if u dont use enough grease when installing. and the proper grease. they will squeak like crazy in time.
