A spacer that goes on top of your spring.

I have a 2.5" Autospring leveling kit I don't need anymore. Send me an email or PM if you're interested.

would anyone go with an off brand? by this i mean summit racing sells their own brand of the leveling kit, and was wondering if it would be just as good? main reason is i get a better discount on summit brand stuff.

why not just get a autospring kit and be sure that it will last.

but that all depends on how good of a deal you get on the summit stuff, lol

instead of a spacer kit has anyone thought of coil springs? cause i bought a set of springs from a friend that are either from an fx4 or 4x4 and some ppl at an offroad shop told me that they wont work...so i asked my friend who bought a lift kit for his 06 nissan frontier and thats all the front was, just bigger springs he doesnt have any problems with it, NONE what so ever in fact it kind of rides like a sports car with the stiff front end
so im gonna go ahead and try those springs hopefuly in the next week or so.
that offroad shop wanted me to buy the leveling kit for around 300 and then pay them 100 to install it i told them there out of there mind i could make the spacer kit and install it for free its nothing more that some 3/16 -1/4 in plate and some pipe welded with bolts
