I've been doing a lot of research on leveling my Ram and was sold on the Bilsteins and getting ready to order and than I came across this Maxtrac 2.5" leveling kit that I found for $135 and they say it eliminates ball joint issues.
Haven't found many people using it and it's hard to find any info on the kit online so just wondering what would make this kit worth buying over the Bilsteins other than it is slightly cheaper ?

I have it on my truck, I love it so far! No issues, noises or weird vibes. I was able to fit 35x12.5's on my stock wheels either no spacers or trimming either.

Bilsteins are still a better option than spacers. Spacers allow the suspension to over extend and not fully compress. Bilsteins keep the suspension travelling within the OEM range. Bilsteins will also give you a better ride over the OEM struts. Definitely worth your money to get them.

I'm happy with mine, no problems or noises here either and the ride is pretty damned good

The maxtrac level puts a .5" spacer below and a 2" spacer above to keep angles good so you don't have Any issues.

Mine was a 1" coil spacer and 1.5 strut spacer, but the aftermarket struts definitely had me worried and I'm more than content with my decision.
