Best 1.5-2" front lift for 2500?

I've looked at all the designs, pretty simple, really. Just wondering which ones everyone has had good luck with?

Thanks

My spacers are made by Top Gunz Customs. I like them and have had no problems.

my truck has a skyjacker 2.5 inch lift

although it looks stock height to me, and well its been nothing but problems with the dual shock brackets, they break at least once every three or four months, ive had to reinforce them.... id avoid skyjacker for ur lift, why do i have it? it came with the truck...

I went with custom built coils from www.coilsprings.com. They look better then D25's and perform great.

Also happy with Hell Bent 2". Very stout!

2" longer coil springs are the 'top drawer' way to go... but spacers work well too.

I just put my Top Gun Customz.com 2" spacers in about 2 hours ago. They were $79.99 and have a life time warranty but doubt that I well ever need it as well as they are made. I will make my next set (3") but these are great. They look just like the Hell Bent ones. I also plane to make some new arms with different end's to get more flex.

Exactly how hard is it to make new control arms? Do you just need to use DOM tubing or something with a strong design and simply take the length of the stockers and add 1" to all of them? There isn't any more geometry or anything more involved in that? I am contemplating getting some 2.5"-3" longer coil springs or spacers and new control arms would probably be a good idea, lol.

DOM or Cromoly tubing. Make the upper adjustable. If you are a good welder/ fabricator its not to bad. You realy dont need longer arms unless you go over 2-2.5" lift.

Speaking about spacers...does anyone have their stock spring foam and hardware they want to get rid of? I am taking out my blocks and like an idiot, threw the stock stuff out.
I will offer to buy them.
Thanks!

Thanks for all of the responses. Marine, why are you reverting to stock?

I have a 3" leveling kit and the tires rub the back wheel well, i'm guessing its because the stock arm's aren't long enough for this high, anyone know of a good cheap fix?
