Leveling Kit Brand?

I was looking online at everyones favorite auction site, and was noticing several different 2.5" leveling kits. Now is there any one I should stay away from. There are several on there at decent prices, and they look good in quality even some being powdercoated. One has seemed to catch my eye, and it's called Hell Bent Steel. Everyone on here seems to be biased to the AutoRide. What's the difference? Thanks for any advice....

most on this site use and prefer AutoSpring kits. they are very good quality, priced excellent, and have an offset design which i have not seen on other kits.

The company who manufacturers the Autospring kit sells direct on ebay. That is your best bet.

Haven't seen them sell them anywhere other than ebay, but a great product.

Does anyone use the Daystar kit anymore, it was the most popular a couple years ago and I dont see it anymore? That is the one that I have.

If I remember some people were staying away from the Daystar because you need a spring compressor with that kit, and you don't with the AS.

Here's a link to the company (clink on the link at the bottom of the page)

Here's a link to a 2.5" AS kit on Ebay

Thanks guys, they do look very good quality on the pics. I know everyone on here pretty much uses the 2.5".---I wonder why they seem to offer 1.5", 2" and other sizes? Perhaps for a 2wd application maybe? Thanks again....

I went Autospring at first, then replaced with a Daystar. Much Happier.

I used the 2" Leveling Kit
The 2.5" kit gives the truck a perfectly level look, and when you put a slight load or park on uneven ground, then it looks as if the truck is squating unless you put a add a leaf in the rear.

Yeah I put the 2.5 AS on my truck and if I could do it over again I would go with the 2"....esp. if you plan on putting any weight in the bed or towing anything.
