I really liked the Tuff Country ones I had for about 2 weeks.
Price was right, steel instead of plastic.
Haven't heard anything bad from people who've had them on longer than I did.

My tires still rubbed, had to get the Skyjacker 4.5" to stop the rub.
10 inch wheels with 4.6" backspace and 35 inch tires doesn't quite work with only a 2" lift.

2 inch levels it out nicely.
Here's mine with the 2"
It rubbed right where the front splashguards connected to the fender.
8-9" wide wheels would most likely not rub there.
It was still slightly raked, but as soon as you put something in the bed,
or hooked to a trailer it would be leveled right out.
3inch, IMHO, would be level unloaded, but severely nosehigh with a load.

I got and set of billet aluminum adjustable spacers from Truckinsuspensions.com (aim industries) They are adjustable from 1" to 4.75". Right now I have em set around 2.75" to level out my truck. Later I will do control arms , track bar bracket & pitman drop to go to the full 4.75"
Works for me. I am running Michelin XL's 11.00 R 16 (39" x 11") right now after some fender "sculpting"

regarding the rubbing - are you talking about rubbing during normal city driving - parking lots and such or are you talking about off road stuff?? Still have not bought those welds and am trying to figure out if they will fit or not

Yes, normal daily driving.
Had to take turns like a semi, nice and wide.
Didn't even try to take them offroad till I got the 4.5"
D25's usually get 2.5" of lift, a little more than the 2" spacer which gets you 2".
D25's plus DT's 1/2" longer control arms would probably be just right to prevent the rubbing.
Of course, I found this out after I got the 4.5".

Hey there, Is KORE basically the same system as the TREX? I was looking at the TREX system before, KORE looks like it is the same system? Any comments?
