I put the 2" Autosprings on. I'm happy with them but then again it's the first and only brand I've ever had on a truck.

^^ i like your screen name. haha. I've heard good things about rough country 2.5 leveling kit but then again i haven't tried it out myself. I think the leveling kits are about 100. I've seen even some for about 50 bucks on ebay.

I also have two inch autospring and on the 06-08 it brings them pretty much perfectly level. Satisfied with mine.

With an 08, most def gonna want to go with a 2". Anything bigger might put ya nose high. Go bigger if you're planning to do aal too. But back to the topic lol, I'm not sure if hell bent steel has a 2" level, but of they do. They are great! And very reasonable price!

I wen't with Hellbent steel 2.5" in the billet variety. The PO had a rubber block spacer in there that was falling apart. HBS seemed like a better choice. They have a welded steel one as well but the billet one was on sale at the time so I wen't with it.

Ive got a rough country 2.5" level on my 04 and it leveled the truck perfect. the kit was easy to install and appeared to be solid. the instructions were pretty easy to follow although i only use the pictures. I would definately buy the rough country kit again.

I e mailed Hellbent, and they got right back to me. I'm going with the Billet aluminum 2 " . I liked the customer service. Now I just have to let the wife know.
Thanks for all the input
