? about spacers

looking to level my truck, but cant decide. should i go with metal spacers or poly? or leveling springs? and why one over the other? any input would be helpful..... i'm afraid springs will sag which is why i'm asking about spacers first.

If you're happy with the way your truck rides now you can do spacers. But this is your chance to improve the ride by swapping in new coils. And a quality set of coils won't sag any more than the factory coils will.

i'm ok with the ride of the stock springs. nice and soft, after owning an f350 it's a welcome feeling. is one better than the other (poly vs steel)? are there any negatives to poly, like sqeaking noises or compression?

I had steel spacers installed six months ago. No problems with factory shocks or springs, so far.
