I was reading through BDS's install instructions for their 4.5/7" lift kits and not only are they throwing in a preload spacer but a strut extension as well. I see they include an extended bumpstop to limit compression but there are no limiting straps to keep from over extending. Seems like you would see all the same strut issues people claim with the leveling spacers. It also seems that they aren't the only ones doing this. Given that how can someone with one of these bigger lifts say that a strut spacer is any worse than what they have? Just me thinking out loud this saturday morning.

I agree that a spacer lift is sub par to a coilover lift, or even a 5100. But, like all things I choose the right tool for the job. Built Toy for fireroads/rock crawling duty, Prepped Evo for mountain roads/track duty, Tundra for towing and getting the toys to their environment. I chose a spacer because of this. Cheap, easy way to make the truck not stink bug on the street. Is it the best way to level.... no.., but for my applications I felt money was better spent somewhere else. Just my opinion though
