Coils or spacers?

Well I searched a little on this and didn’t find what I was looking for. I’ve got a couple leveling kit questions.

What’s the advantage of the D25 springs over the 2” spacers?
If I put 2” of lift on the front, would the optional radius arms be recommended?
Would replacing the bump stops with only 2” of lift be recommended?

Thanks

I installed the metal 2'' spacers from Tuff Country with no other mods. Just take your truck to the alignment shop after installation. I didnt like the thought of the spacers made out of the rubbery stuff. They would have to change the spring rate somewhat. I have no complaints at all and my truck looks great. This simple mod makes a world of difference!

I have the metal spacers too. I took mine in for an alignment. It did not require one after it was the rack. To be on the safe side take it in I guess. My truck had about 10,000 KM when I installed the spacers.

You do not have to replace the radius arms when installing 2inch spacers. I believe you can go up to 3 inches before you have to replace the arms. I had an 03 2500 with 3 inch spacers it was fine. My 04 2500 has tuff country 4.5 inch lift it came with all new radius arms.
