Default Is this true.....??

Was wanting to lift (level) my front end. Wanted to put some Daystar spacers but was told by my local auto parts dealer all i really needed was to put new..... heavy duty coils. Would give it the 2 or 3 inch lift i needed. Question is.....is that true. I have a 97 chevy 1500 2wd. with a 5.7L v8 . Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

If you put the heavy duty coils in it will ride terrible. If you put the spacers in it will almost ride exactly the same as it does now.
