    Ok so i couldnt find what i was looking for after searching through a couple pages.. Im looking to lift my truck about 2 inches and wondering what the best options is going to be...

    1.. Adjustable Bilstein 5100 with AAL in rear
    2.. Strut Spacers with AAL in rear


    Kind of on a budget under 250.00..

    1 if it were me. You'd be happier I think. What do you plan on doing with the truck? Street driving or taking it on an adventure here and there?

    I agree with everyone above, only reason you would go 2 is to save a few bucks but it's not worth it IMO. Go 5100/AAL and your ride quality will improve.
