Best leveling spacer???

Desided to go with the 2" spacer rather than the d25s, dont want the" nose high" look.Any one have the tuff country spacers and wheres the best (cheapest)place to buy. If ya had good luck with any other tupe of spacer please share. Thanks

Ive heard the tuff country spacers are crappy....youll get much better results with the D25's.

That's odd, I haven't heard anything bad about them.

I had mine on for only a couple months though.

D25's shouldn't produce the "nose high" look though,
as they are only 1/2" taller than stock springs with a 2" spacer.

Most trucks I see with the d25 springs sit a little high, they must give closer to 3 inches of lift and when you put a quad or anything in back, it looks like the rear springs are bagged.The tuff country are steel and I'm guessing this would be the way to go, just wondering what was herd bad about them .Thanks

I got a set of 2" CNC machined steel ones off ebay. They were made by a guy in Oregon. Not sure the guys name any more(almost 2 years ago) they were even powder coated black. Very Quality product with a great set of install instructions for $120.

I've had the Tuff Country spacers for over two years and haven't had any problems with them. This also includes some moderate off roadin' and muddin'. Can't really beat the price compaired with the springs. Also, very simple to install.

how bout getting stock springs stretcehd? I know you can have leaf springs re arched anyone know if shops can stretch a coil spring? seems like a waste of mony getting a new set that is a little higher if a shop can do it for less, 500 bux seems like a lot of loot but having a spring instead of a spacer does sound better. that way you can get the added hight and a set of new taller shocks and still end up paying less than 500 bux. Just a thought, comments?

Does anyone know if the D25s would work in a 4x2? I want to get rid my ride level, I that daystar makes spacres, but I would prefer to install a taller spring. I thought about a 3500 spring but dont know if that will do much good.
