Looks just like the readylift or procomp kits, but at a fraction of the price, I mean I don't know how they could be any diffrent other than brand name, its still two spacers..

 

I wanted to go with a design like this, and was about ready to go ahead and order the readylift for the truck I'm picking up tomorrow when I came across this...

 

any concerns you think?

 

EDIT: I was also looking at this kit

I'd go right ahead and order, theres nothing wrong with the ones off ebay for a fraction of the price. We have a lift kit on a 2004 f-150 and it's been on there since it was new, and it only cost 65 dollars on ebay.

I got mine off eBay from a company that made the billet aluminum spacers somewhere in Cali. It is a very good product and I haven't had any problems. I think the company was NCD Customs (it is in my sig). I mean how can you screw up a billet aluminum spacer?

Some people think that certain brands have magical powers and their spacers don't cause increased angles or better ride quality..

I don't understand what you are saying here. Are you trying to state that brand makes a difference?

 

A 1.5" spacer is a 1.5" spacer regardless of who makes it....

So you are saying that some brands do have magical powers?

Exactly.

 

And the more expensive they are, the stronger their "powers" are.

 

And if they have a video on youtube where an "expert" tells you that their kit was specifically designed for your vehicle and retains all factory geometry and ride characteristics and that its better than the other leveling kits... then they're in the realm of wizardry.

what is amazing is that my leveling kit increases fuel economy by 200%

.... you sure you're not running 89 octane?

Should I go with the 2.25 or the 2.5? I want a leveled out look, I've seen the 2.25 kits on trucks with 285 bfgs, and it wasn't quite level..

 

Some people say over 2" is hard on the front end, but how is the ride?

 

would the 2.5 be too much?

 

Gonna order off ebay tomorrow I suppose

[jdubya]

I wouldn't go more than 2" just because it will make your truck look like it is sitting higher in the front than the back. I put a 2" level kit on mine and I felt like the front was higher than the back so I added a 1.5" block to the back....

Yeah but you sometimes get their cool sticker to put in the window.

Ordered the 2.5 last night.. We'll see how it goes!

 

Really wish they would have had the 2.25 kit, but they didn't, so this 2.5 should do nicely, even if I have to add a 1" block to the rear it will still be cheaper than the name brand kits

Does anyone have any input on the Torsion key lifts off of Ebay? They all look the same and claim to be as strong of stronger than OEM, but how can they sell them for less than half the price of a "quality name brand". Is it just marketing or is it a "get what you pay for" type deal? Ide like to get one because of the price but I dont want to have it break down and leave me stranded or worse.

 

Would you trust them?

 

Has anyone purchased a leveling kit off of Ebay for a 99 - 06?
