Default spacers vs extended springs

i was just wondering if yall have any preferences with leveling kits, if either is better or if theyre about the same. i know there is a price difference but is this one of those you get what you pay for things?

not hard.... losen the lower shock bolt and jack the truck up in the center...loosen the spring clamp and it will fall out...simple...I changed shocks and springs on mine in 20 minutes both sides...and 10 of that was fixing coffee
