Lift Spindles, Springs, or Spacers?

I am thinking of lifting my 4x2 a few inches and was wondering if Lift Spindles are the way to go? Do you need to get it re-alligned after installing the spindles?

Or are the Coil Springs or Spacers the way to go?

It just depends on how high you want to go. Personally, I'd install both. Also, it is a good idea to have the alignment checked although some say it isn't necessary with just spindles.

THe spacers are less expensive, but you may need an adjustable camber kit (around $50) to get your alignment correct. The spindles will give you a little more lift but will increase your front track width a couple of inches.

If you on a budget and just want a couple inches spacers would be the way to go. I like spindles best. I have a 3.5 lift on mine. It needed re-alighned big time.
