Have you had any issues withthe 3" kit? I read on here for a while that it would cause premature wear and possible failure of balljoints and tie rods. I have seen nothing. My best friend has the same on his stx. Now at 110,000 with it on. Still no wear to speak of. This is one rumor that needs to die off.

Just buy one, they are all basically the same. I went with the AS and I like it. I can't say about the others because I havnt gotten one. It's up to you.

I wish it would die off. It's the rumor that keep me from the 3inch and choose the 2 1/2 instead. I really wanted to the 3 but as we all know rumors scare people as it did me.

I tried to follow the link to your album but it failed, can you show me a pic of your truck with that 3" lift?

I'm pretty sure they are all pretty much the same...it is a spacer...how different can they be. I went with the HBS 2.5. One is just as good as the other one i am sure.
