Yea, get the steel ones. I've used 2 sets of them and would use them again any day. With the 2" spacers you can run 35s easily.

Longevity, strength(steel is stronger than poly or rubber!).

SKYNYRD when you have the trailor on with that truck it is sagging a little do you have helper bags pumped on the rear? ( are they the 1400lbs or the 6000lbs?) i just dont want my truck to sag if i do the leveling kit once i put the trailor on. thats eactly what i dont want i tow a 31 foot hauler and i am scared it will sag if i ddo a leveling kit even thuogh i have the airlift on it?

If you stay cheap like I did and get the steel ones do yourself a favor and buy shocks too

but after my experience I feel I wasted my money on the spacers I really want a Lorenze spring kit 550 bucks or so and it takes the same amount of work to install I think your kidneys will thank you

You can get the steel ones from Hellbent Steel website for around $80 delivered. You will still have the stock ride, but it levels the truck nicely.

The Kore leveling kit is 785 I believe. If you are looking for more than a leveling kit Kore makes the Recon (1580). If this is the route you want to go check out Carli, Lorenz, and Thuren as well.

I'm getting the Lorenz kit myself.

W/steel spacers, you are not changing spring compression/decompression/length/lbs. per anything. It will be the same as stock ride unless factory shocks are hitting full extension on the upward travel. Other than if that happens, it is dynamically the exact same thing.

That is correct. Mine rides better than it did before cause I replaced the crappy stock front shocks at the same time I put the spacers in.
