Arrow Ride height or Spacers

Greetings:

So...what is the difference in ride and quality of installation between using Spacers on top of the strut tower? Vs a ride height strut with the OEM spring?

Both assuming with the same amount of lift at 2".

Aftermarket strut should give a better ride quality.

I'm reading good stuff about the Halo Lifts Boss coil overs. Splits the difference between Bilstiens and Icon or Fox. They are well reviewed and use Eibach springs rather than reusing the Ford OEM spring like Bilstien does.
