Arrow front end lift

what is the best way to lift the front of an 88 Ranger STX 4x4. i have heard that spring spacers might be the way to go, but im not sure. also, when it comes to wheel spacers are they worth it?

Personally I would never use a wheel spacer.As far as lifting the front,How much do you want to lift it?A new set of "stock" springs would restore it to factory height.
