I know that I saw a thread on here the other day but I can't find it now. :o

Someone did a comparison between several of them and knew which one gave the greatest lift per size, etc.

Can someone point me to that thread or the gentleman that created it?

 

I contributed in this post a long time ago, hope it helps (see post #7):

That helps. Thank you, sir.

So the HBS 2 1/2" and the AS 2" are equivalent? Interesting.

I notice that HBS has pulled their 2" billet spacer off of their website today after emailing them yesterday and confirming that the 09-11 spacers will also fit the 04-08 trucks.

 

Your welcome, what size are you thinking about going with? Having a 05, I would go with the AS 2.5" w/ powder coat option.

 

I am probably going to go with the 2". I want to clear 33's and still have a little bit of rake so that when I hook my boat to the back of it, it doesn't squat.

Is there that much difference betweent the powdercoat and the poly finish? We don't normally get a lot of salt around here, although this year has been an exception.

 

Between the painted and powder coated versions is only $10. The powder coat is a more durable finish in general. We rarely get snow, and when we do there is never salt, but piece of mind that I don't have to worry about rust regardless is worth it to me. If nothing else your still susceptible to dirt/sand/water etc getting in there and acting as an abrasive.
