Leveling Kit

I have a 1993 Ford F150 with a 4.9 4x4. I am seriously looking into getting a leveling kit for the front end. I am not sure which would be better, 2 inch spacers or 2inch longer coil springs. I'm leaning towards the springs because I think my truck could use a new set anyways since it kind of leans towards the front driver side already. What do you guys think?

Definately coils, spacers are basically gonna lift the body and becomes a body lift and wont cure the nosedive look, unless you just put it in the front. Coils are safer and more legit in my opinion. Im gonna order 2 inch coils for mine too, i hate the nosedive look, id rather have the front higher than the back

Coil spring is better than the spacer. it will also give you a better ride than the spacers.
