Thumbs up Leveling spacers??

I want to know your opinion of front leveling spacers. Do you prefer steel or poly and why?
Yes, Im going to be doing this to my '04 with 35s (34.5"). Thanks for the help!

For the price they are the way to go Some people say they will wreck your springs by compressing them too much I have steel ones on my 06 and they did the job and I didn't need realignment The only diff would be a slight weight savings going with the plastic ones Later I plan to update to a Lorenz or Carli suspention kit but for now the ones I have do the job

I have never had steel ones, but I have had the polyurethane ones. I don't know how true it is, but I have heard some guys saying the steel ones "squeak" sometimes because of the metal-to-metal contact.

Thanks for the responses. It sounds like either type will work fine. Any other input?

I got mine from Hellbent too, $70.00 shipped to my door in less than 72 hours from the time I clicked the button.

Did the trick, ride seems the same to me.....
