Default Whats the difference besides price???

Evening fellas. i am in the process of buying a 2 inch front leveling kit for my 2005 Dodge 2500. All of the kits I have seen are simply coil spring spacers, and i am fine with that. Thats what i want. However, some of these "Spacers" range from $100 dollare to $279.00 DOLLARS. Is one soo much better than the other to make me consider buying the higher priced ones??? i dont see how they can really be that much different, but I thought I would ask.

Thanks for any info.
Jason

Ive seen the $100 ones last for 4-5 years until the truck has been sold. They hold up just fine

Well, i went ahead and bought the Rough Country 2.5 inch spacers. Man they were a pain in the backside to install. The fron axle wouldn't drop far enough to get it in on top of the spring. i had to loosen up everything in the front, and get a come a long. Glad its over now!!
