I have a no name brand 2.5 inch spacer from ebay. It's made of Delrin, which is harder and more durable than polyurethane and won't compress. I paid 55 bucks for it shipped to my door. And very pleased with it, no issues at all. I suggest a 2 inch leveling kit though, I have a sneaking suspicion that the 2.5 level and springs with no sag in them at all will be nearly impossible to align. Mine is right on the edge, and I don't have brand new springs...

Hell Bent Steel, and all the newer leveling kit makers don't make any for the older I beam F150s

I have the 2.5inch version of these: http://www.ebay.com/itm/1983-1996-Fo...sories&vxp=mtr

They gave me exactly 2.5 inches lift, no more no less. It looks like they don't make the 2.5 anymore though. I bought it 10 months ago, only been on the truck for the last 5.

Then there's also these Billet ones, but I don't know how much I would want metal on metal contact in there
