Just like John said check into the lift of the spacers on our trucks a 2.5" gives some bad angles. The 3" level is ridiculous. Matt (buckshot85) had a 3" and his angles were pretty bad IIRC

HBS is great quality too. I've only had experience with AS though

I've helped my buddy install a Hellbent Steel kit on his 07 F150 and it seemed like a really decent kit. Came with instructions that even I could follow and the metal in the spacers you could tell was high quality with good construction. A 2010 will take a different kit but I would be willing to bet it's still the same high quality materials and construction. Holding the spacers they definitely feel more solid than the Rough Country kit I have for my truck.

I'm actually not too concerned with the material... aluminum would work as with pretty much any steel. I'm even good with a composite material that has a good fiber and resin. A lot of the "high quality steel" stuff is basically marketing from the companies.

I hear ya, I was trying to point out the quality manufacturing rather than the material itself. Think the difference in feel between cheap imported parts and OEM parts.

I'm running a 2.5" autosprings leveling kit and my bull bar is smitty built. They are cheap and they look just like the expensive ones.

TX, where else should I be?
I've got the 2.5" Hell Bent Steel spacers. I wouldn't go with a 3" because of the angles.

The light bar looks like it has been covered pretty well. The only option I could throw in is building one like I did to fit inside my brush guard.
