Alot of people have had the 2inch spacer kit and have put alot of miles on them off road with no issues. I like blistine but every manufacture says there stuff is the best and everyone else's product is going to bring about total destruction of the earth. Its a sales pitch to get you to spend 200 dollars more. I do LOVE bilstein shocks though and I can not wait to see what they are like in about 2 years.
I have to agree on this point. Spacers work fine if you do some occasional off roading. If you are pushing the front suspension to the edge everyday, maybe an F-150 isn't really what you need. As far as the Bilstein site is concerned, everybody is going to be biased in regards to their product. Just get what you can afford, anything that makes one happy is good enough.
