Right. All of the spacer lifts are about the same, but some are way overpriced (Readylift). Just don't go over 2.5 inches or your ball joints will not last.
The best, but most expensive option is replacement coilover shocks, like Bilstiens. Not only do you get to level your truck you get a much better shock.

is there a difference in the machined aluminum spacer vs the steel welded space?
The solid aluminum looks like it would hold up better than the 1/4" steel,

I'd go with the 2" Autospring, Hell Bent or Top Gun. they're all about the same. 2" Autospring in front with stock height rear on mine. Rides great.

A spacer is a very simple, low-tech item. Some people make them out of different material as a marketing gimmick or they believe one is better than the other. Bottom line is they all work the same. If you like aluminim better, go for it.
