I went with the Daystar 2.5 Leveling Kit and I have had ZERO problems in the 14+ Months that it has been installed.

I have the skyjacker 2.5" spacer on my truck. I do not know if it is the "best" available yet or not...

I installed Autospring 2" kit(rear is 1" higher than front) and love it. Also easy to install(no spring compressor needed).

Best Leveling Kit

I went with the SkyJacker 2.5 Leveling Kit. Had it installed on Manday of this week, and so far, I love it....

I think everyone will say that the kit they installed is the "best." I went with the 2" Autospring (about $100) and love it. It's pure steel - no plastic parts to wear out.

A level kit is just a spacer that goes between the spring assembly and the upper a-arm. Since it doesnt change the spring rate or the shock or anything else that would affect the ride you can buy any one you like. They are all good if its built by a reputable company. I have installed a Daystar and the ride didnt change at all as with most other opinions of all types installed by the fine folks on this site. I would stay away from anything taller than 2 1/2" though unless you are buying a complete suspension lift. Just my .02.
