OTT(Over The Top strut style) spacers can cause problems with IFS Suspensions. Spring replacements are almost always better...I would like to find ones that are a bit stiffer than stock...

I went with the AS 2.5", leveled my truck just right, no issues whatsoever. Just make sure you get an alignment after the install. Very easy installation, I did it in my driveway in an hour and a half. The kit was $80.00 free shipping. Or you could go with any other similar type and pay to have it done, usually $140.00 + align, so shop around for the best price. I did it myself, so no labor cost. Botom line, a spacer is a spacer. Some will say the aluminum will corrode, some say the steel will rust. Do you research and make an informed decision you are comfortable with. It's a cheap, relatively easy mod. Good luck

Have HBS as well, but they pretty much all do the same thing and since they are "passive" mods (just a thick chunk of metal) with AutoSpring claiming their "offset" design is superior (believe the marketing spin or not), you probably won't go wrong with any quality manufacturer out there (not sure of no-name eBay ones).
