Best 2" spacers?

Who makes the best 2" spacers($80)? Im thinking of going with hellbent's 2" steel spacers, are they any good? Before you tell me otherwise, know that Im sticking w/ the 2" spacers instead of getting coils and etc.!

I've been trying to get a similiar question that only a few responded between polurethane or steel, as far as steel, the hell bent for $80 is the way to go

well definetly HELL BENT as far as steel, I just want to make sure if I should get the polyuaethane before I order them. I'd rather spend an extra $50 if it'll make a world a difference, if NOT then ill just get the HELLBENT. I am also adding on Bilsteins 5100 shocks all around, so not sure what spacer will be the best with those shocks

I've got the HBS leveling kit on mine. So far no problems. I am very happy with them. Drives the same as before.


I used the stocker shocks for a few thousand miles after adding the HBS kit but later switched to the adjustable Rancho 9000 shocks. They improved ride and handling greatly.


You won't regret the HBS kit, Boss Hogg.

Be careful not to bottom out your stock shocks. Levelling spacers are pretty much the same, a cheap alternative to new springs. Not saying its a bad thing. It does keep the ride stock and my roommate has had them on his 05' quad cab for about 12k without any problems. He also has new shocks though and his is a 3" spacer.

If you get HellBent just a quick note that is not in their instructions.... disconnect your sway bar end links!!!!! If you dont they will bind up and bend as you reinstall springs. And you'll have to use your trucks stock jack under pass seat to "crank down" axle. Just put it between frame and axle and crank until you can get spring in.
