    Just wondering if one (Steel vs Aluminum) is better than the other in terms of longevity?

    Also curious if there are any Canadian hookups for these spacers? I've sent dobsons aluminum online for $70, which seems steep for what it is. There are Wolf suspension versions much cheaper. And have found a $30 Amazon one made of steel.

    The only thing with aluminum I would be concerned about is galvanic corrosion.

    Good call. I had a JK with Aluminum door hinges - nightmare if pealed paint bothers you.

    Might pop on the Steel Amazon ones.

    Thanks man.
