Leveling spacer question

Question on spacers vs Skyjacker/superlift coils. 4 Wheelparts told me that Skyjacker recommends replacing the lower link arms when using their 2" replacement springs, however superlift doesn't recommend w/ their 2" coils and all the mfgs of 2 inch spacers say its not needed. Who do you trust? I would lean towards skyjacker...but???? have any of you running spacers encountered any problems with alignment or the tires wearing funky because of this? I've only used spacers once, but took them off to use 5.5 double flex skyjacker. I don't need to go that high with this one, but I don't want to cause undue stress on my axle or components. Any suggestions/comments?

I have the two inch leveling kit on my truck. No alignment needed or unusual tire wear. The stock shocks fit fine.......

SAME HERE, I DID GO TO RANCHO SHOCKS (THE ONES THEY REC. FOR THEIR 2" KIT). THE SHOCKS ARE THE EXACT SAME LENGTH, SO DON'T WORRY ABOUT SHOCKS. I DO NOTICE WHEN I GO OVER SPEED BUMPS THAT SOMETHING IS OVER-EXTENDING, I BELIEVE ITS THE SHOCKS. ANYONE ELSE NOTICE THIS, ITS LIKE A CLUNKING NOISE?

Got it!
Did it.
I have gotten the 2" spacers on for about 17k, No problems other than steering wheel off center when installed. Dealer did an alignment under warranty(specs perfect).
Havent bottomed out yet!

Get it done!

Is the T-Rex leveling and suspension all it's talked up to be. Or is it cheaper to just get a Rancho 2 inch kit. pros/cons?
