Leveling kit Differences

[Zarati]

New to the Yukon platform and I noticed there are 2 distinctly different styles of leveling kits. One is basically a U shaped bracket that mounts at the bottom of the strut. The other appears to be a round spacer that melts at the top of the coil Spring. That seems more secure and safer but what is everyone's thoughts on the much cheaper U-shaped bracket at the bottom of the strut? Looking at the Rough Country one but open to other options.

I’d say it’s safe to run the U style for like 1 inch anything past that you’ll want to get the style that goes on top for obvious reasons.

They are all basically hunks of metal so brand to brand I don’t think there much difference just make sure they’re metal.

I've got some rough country ones I didn't use if you're interested. I'll sell em cheap

I'm going to be installing 5100s in the front, and will be ditching my Rough Country level kit horseshoes also. 1" spacer = 2" lift

Well now you guys have me thinking about just putting 5100s on instead of the rough country horse shoe spacer. I'll probably drive it for a month here and figure out if I need other suspension stuff too before I dig into it. Thanks for the help and suggestions.

Thanks. I'll let you know. Currently waiting for State patrol inspection and once I start driving at I'll determine whether I'm doing a spacer or if it needs front shocks I'll just go to 5100 route as well.
