Default Front coil spacers?

Have any of you used something like this?

Obviously I don't expect 3 inches of lift, if I wanted that I'd buy new coils but I don't have the money. I was just wondering if anybody had tried these. I saw some other things at autozone that claimed 2 inches of lift but they were little plastic things that looked like they would shoot right out of the coils. This at least looks a little safer. Thanks

I dont like those but I've never used them so I dont know how they are and I've always heard if its going to be a vehicle used on road its not recommended to go anymore than 2in spacers

Ya I agree 3in is to much. I have used the 1in spacers. I used 1 on top and 1 on the bottom. That was tops, you couldn't fit anymore. If you truly wanted 3in do 1in on top and a 2in spacer on the bottom.
