I have been running the 2 inch steel spacers from top gun customs for the last 6 years with no problems what so ever..... go with either steel or aluminum stay a way from the poly on the diesles

I did what Uncle Bubba did and got longer springs, it rides so much better than with the blocks

I put 315's I am told they are pretty much 35's. They rub a little at hard lock but thats it.

I have the HellBent blocks, no way they will break. the polys are known to though. I hope to do Carli springs some day as I hear the ride is MUCH better. 35's do rub a little @ lock and longer control arms and track bar are recommended.

I'm in the same boat but I'm leaning towards a top gun kit with coil overs
