rubber spring booster for a inch upfront?

So i wanted to lift the front end up a inch or so on my 95 f150 4x4 so it sits level and when i buy new tires i can put 33s on. I came across these 1 3/4" rubber coil spring boosters that are only 18 bucks. I dont offroad its a road truck i do go muddin once a month or so but i dont flex the suspension at all. Will these fit my needs? any issues i need to worry about? should i just go with the 1" coil spring spacers? or could i even go with the 2 1/4" spacers ? heres the link AutoZone.com | CoilSpringBooster | 13/4in.approx.jumbofrontcoilspringbooster

those sound good. i drive an f350 and i put a level kit with 2" spacers in my front suspension, just be sure to align the front after your done getting them in. im like you, i dont do too much off roading.

The only issue with those is that Ford uses a strap and two bolts to hold the upper end of the coil in place, rather than just trusting it to stay there or using a center pylon like other manufacturers.
Another thing to consider is that that will cause camber issues due to the TTB system. You really need to go all or nothing with that system.

yeah i did have to buy aftermarket camber adjustment bolts for my 2" level, but that was only $40 in all. bought the level kit on ebay for $50.
