Not spacer pucks, regardless of what they are made of.

Just wondering if we are asking the right question here, or trying to get a feel good on the DWSK angle?

Maybe the thread title should be: Can I get away with using spacers and not feel bad about it?

If you do, just make sure to get a longer track bar to go with them or I promise - you WILL regret it.

I don't know if I would recommend that HBS stuff. By the time you get those two things you are more than halfway there to a set of quality Kore springs/shocks/bar drops.

You gotta pony up +$ for a track bar either way. There's just no cheap way to do it right.

Some of your comments make it seem like your going out of your way to be a dick. Coil spacers are fine if you do them right. Not all of us can afford a kore or carli leveling kit. I know I couldnt when i leveled mine. Aslong as he doesnt just put the coil spacer on it and go but also does the track bar, checks his tie rod ends and balljoints for wear, he will perfectly ok. Just cause you dont approve of something doesnt mean you have to tell everyone. We dont care. I hate stacks on trucks with a passion but thats my opinion and if someone asks the best way to do it i will help him out to the best of my ability. I do have a question though. I think you were in the service so were you enlisted or officer?

Let me elaborate on some of my comments, for your edification. If you'd been paying attention all along in this and other threads you'd already know these things. Don't YOU be a dick.

I've been running spacers and a track bar on my truck for over two years. and I never said there was anything fundamentally wrong with that in this or any other thread on the topic. I don't give a crap what you or anyone else doesn't care about. Get over yourself. And who the fawk is "we?"

If you think spacers is in any way shape or form the best way to lift a truck you are seriously misguided. The only way to use spacers is along with a track bar as a minimum. I've said that repeatedly. It's not a really great solution, but it works. What part of that don't you get?

Let me tell you a couple things I don't like at all, and actually really hate with a passion: 1) people who drive unsafe trucks, endagering themselves and others on the road. Now here's a question for you: Have you ever driven a truck experiencing full-blown DW at speed? If not, you need to STFU right now. 2) people I don't know getting in my personal business.

The OP asked for the best leveing kit. Spacers are definatly not the best, they are a cheap alternative that trades off some things for teh achieved lift, do they work? Yes. Do people get away with running them? Yes. Are they the best way to do it? Not by a long shot. They are definatly an option i done right.
