Default Coil Spring Spacers

I have a 1998 Extended Cab Chevy Silverado and am wanting to level it out. It is 2 wheel drive and has the stock tire/wheel size. I am thinking about getting the Daystar 1.5 inch spacers. Would this level the truck out completely or would I need even bigger spacers like a 2.5 inch? Also, if I got the 1.5 inch spacers about what size wheel/tires could i run? I would much rather get a spindle/suspension lift, but that's not going to happen for a good while. Thanks for the help!

1.5 inch should definately level it out. I'll go ahead and tell you its better to just wait until you can afford the spindles. You may end up with a fatigued sping using the spacers.

Is it a common problem to have a fatigued spring? I haven't heard of anyone having one that I know of. Yeah, I wish I could get the spindle lift, but that's going to be a looong ways off. So I may just get the spacers for now and maybe get bigger tires, and then get the spindle lift once I have the money.
