    Hey everyone. I ordered the Rough Country 2.5 inch leveling kit and was surprised to see that the front and back spacers were both made of a composite plastic. They claim that they are stronger than metal but that is obviously just a sales tactic. I went ahead and installed the front spacers. Does anyone have any long term updates from these for wear vs metal? I’m sure it’s fine and I don’t do any super heavy towing or extreme off-roading anyway. Thanks.

    Yup. We are out of the Iron Age. Composites can be much stronger and more resilient than most metals. That being said, Rough Country and long term are not typically used together.
