Default Want to level my 97 2wd, what say you about this?

Hi all, as says in the title I want to level my 97 Mazda 2wd (2" or so) and have been looking around. My top 2 choices so far are:

A.) This spacer / leaf kit on Ebay (I only care about the front but still cheaper than most) http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/84-97...mZ280582943301

These are $90 and most coil levels running $130 at least. Also they seem pretty legit after reading the description and checking out the seller.


B.) Ford factory spacers that were used on early 90s F-150's (according to The Ranger Station). It said the part numbers were F2TZ-5A307-A and F2TZ-5A307-B, I'm assuming I can just call a local Ford dealer and ask if they have these in stock? Anybody know what they're made of, quality, etc?


Has anybody gone with either of these and either way what do you think? Thanks, Justin

I would say to stay with factory ride go with the spacers also beaware that you may pick up a bouncy ride but this can be solved with longer shocks or go to your local part store and see if you can find the little extension stud that screws on top of your current shock stud.

Cool thanks, I think I'm definitely going to go with the spacers at this point.
