Default $69 Leveling Kit - How Good Is It?????

Has anyone heard of or dealt with these guys or their products? http://www.hellbentsteel.com/catalog...it/category/5/

I'm looking for a leveling kit but don't know how the quality is. What do you guys think of this kit? And it's only $69.

When I researched for my leveling kit, everyone seems to recommend the Auto Spring kits. I went off of those recommendations and went with one as well and I am definilty happy with my choice of their kits and they are also very well priced.

Yes the auto springs kit isa nice one,dont get me wrong.I just decided to go with a diferent one after seeing the auto springs kit that my budy got for his 05 f-150 and i saw the weld,not bad(and maybe it was just the ones he got i dont know)but the welds on the hellbents compared to the auto springs were beter(again maybe it was just that kit he got from auto springs i dont know)i am just picky when it comes to welded aplications cause i am a welder so.I'm not knocking auto springs thoe in any way brother.

I have the 2.5" hellbent and it looked like a well built piece of steel made the truck look great and have had no problems with it.

Very nice, in my opinion all spacers are similar and hellbent steel charges a realistic price for them. I love mine and they are well built. If you get it off ebay its free shipping.

I looked at the hellbent but I wasn't sure it had the 'offset' built into like the a/s does. I believe the offset was added so that the spring wouldn't hit the UCA when extended.
