Best ride for 2WD, coil spacers or spindles?

Which would keep the ride smoothest on a 03 2WD, coil spacers or new spindles? I plan on doing 2" or maybe even 3" blocks in the rear too. Of course the spindles are like $400 and the spacers $75!

And one day, maybe around Christmas 2011, doing a 7.5 inch lift so the spacers or spindles will be in the dumpster then.

skip the little stuff, save up for the Fabtech.

Spindles will not affect the ride. Coilspring spacers will make the initial portion of the suspension's travel slightly stiffer.

@ $500, you're already half-way there for the Fabtech kit, might as well save up the rest and go for that.
