any difference in the two. looking at a 2.5 level

 

The AS is "offset"

 

The offset in the AS moves the strut slightly foward so it doesnt contact the upper control arm during full downward deflection.

Has anyone had any issues with contact or damage ? Just wondering how important this is.

 

I have the 2.5 hbs kit and have had no issues. Ride is still factory quality.

 

I have a sky jacker 2.5 kit and no problems.

 

Personal preference. I have the 3" HBS. No issues at all. Autosprings can say what they want,but I have seen their s installed. Looks like the strut is in the exact place as mine with the HBS. Just a marketing ploy in my opinion.

 

HBS is a tad cheaper.

 

my strut never touches my UCA with AS, can you say the same with HBS? its a easy as jacking up the trcuk and looking

 

Never makes contact. And I have the 3" that people are so scared of doing. And I have had no premature wear on any parts.

 

well i wouldnt worry about it then. it might make a difference with 2wd vs 4wd i dont know... but they are basically the same price i do like that my kit is powder coated
