what is a better ride quality? 3" Polyurethane front spacers or aluminum??

I know people dont like spacer kits but what rides better or are they about the same?

 

on streets, they are pretty much the same... offroad, the polyurethanes would seem to have less resistance against the coils, but they are both so rough, its really hard to tell...

I currently have daystar 2.5" poly spacers but i want another 1/2" to compensate for my new front bumper... I like how the daystars ride but i want a full (3") these 3" aluminum spacers look like my cheapest/best option... I dont off road alot and cant afford any other options.. anybody have any input on these?

 

those look like top mount spacers... dont get them... on the 1st gen trucks, top load spacers can damage your ball joints... since it stacks on top of your shock assembly, they increase the travel of the shock and can stress the lower arms...

stick with a preload spacer... granted the ride will be stiff as heck, but it beats running the risk of damage to your stock parts...

 

are my daystars topload? or preload? they ride great!!!

 

I have the pro comp leveling kit, and wish I would have went a different route.

 

I'm taking out my top spacers and going to 5100's...

 

If you must go spacers...I suggest the preload w/ non progressive coil springs.

 

x2.

My truck had spacers when I bought it...sooo happy I've upgraded to OME since.

 

I have the Alum. spacers.. They are ok. Now with 20/20 hindsight, I would have went with coilovers... just for smoother ride.

 

how much lift? where did you get them?

 

I got a spacer lift and if I had to do over again i'd do Billy 5100s. My next set up will be Billy 5100s with OME 885 coils and a new AAL for the rear
