Alot of discussion on here on level kits and they all look great.

I am looking at getting one put on but still trying to figure out to go with ReadyLift, Auto Spring, etc etc.

I am sure they are all great companies.

My question is some are made of aluminium and some steel. My thinking is that if you are going to mount this puck over the coilover which is all steel would you not want a steel spacer/puck in there? I guess readylift makes them in billet Aluminium and everybody else are steel. Also the readylift is the most expensive???

Seems like autospring the most popular on here and most likely what I will go with.

I was wondering the same thing. I have noticed that most here are going with Autospring for the leveling kits. I have done some looking around and there are others which are made of steel, made in USA, etc but are a fraction of the price of Autospring. For example on Amazon and Ebay there is a brand called Motofab which ranges in price $49 to $70, where the Autospring is $120. They seem to be a simple product, a spacer block with 3 holes and 3 studs, made of steel. I don't think I would use the aluminum or plastic brands, but should all of the steel brands be comparable? There are other steel brands other than the Motofab mentioned above also which are significantly less in price than the Autospring. I am a newbie when it comes to this, so I am hoping for some feedback from some of the experienced people here. Any thoughts on using the less expensive steel brands?

I am going with steel (Auto Spring) for sure. Don't know if I would trust a no name ebay lift kit though.

Goofy description on their site. What, steel can't corrode? Since when?

I think what they are getting at is they are powder coated to resist corrosion.

Just had a Autospring 2.5" installed by my dealer. Spacers looked to be made of quality. Would definitely recommend.

Great. Good to know.

I just don't think Aluminum would be a good choice for something that holds the weight of the front end of the truck on top the coilovers.

Then there is the dissimilar metal issue also. The steel frame and still coilover sandwiched together with an aluminum puck.

Maybe just my OCD but I would not do it.

I would shy away from the AutoSpring knock off brands. There are many grades of steel. More than likely the knock off companies are using a lower grade of steel & probably having it made in China or Singapore.
