I have been reading anything I can find regarding leveling w/ rear coil spacers for our ‘18 1500. I’m to the point things are starting to blend together!!! Lol
I’m leaning towards the Bils @2.8, possibly new uca, with a rear spacer that’s 1.5-2”, haven’t decided yet. Truck currently has roughly a 3” rake.
So one question I have is regarding the material used for the spacer. Is one better than the other? Some are steel, Aluminum, Delrin, or Polyurethane...
Some report they are better because they won’t harden and shrink like the poly spacers. But the poly is said to be quieter...
We live in Mid Michigan, and travel to Northern Mi and Northern Ontario during the winter, so if we use this truck it will see salty roads.
Otherwise the only off road this truck will probably see is the unpaved road into the cabin in Northern Ontario. Never know what shape it may be in. Though it’s never been super crazy bad, just mainly pot holes and washboards...
So are the arguments for and against each material more of a marketing thing? If you wanted to raise the rear “x” inches, and all the materials are available, which would you choose and why?
Do know I’m adding a set of 1000hd bags. Mainly because our boat seemed to drop the rear just over 2”. And if we load anything else in the bed, I figure it will be dragging butt when we go camping (coolers, corn hole boards, firewood, etc)... So need a spacer that is compatible with bags also. Though I’m sure I could drill out the center if needed.
TY!!!
