Default 2500 coil springs vs. 3" spacers up front and 1" block out back

Cant decide if I want to buy 2500 coils or this lift kit on eBay http://www.ebay.com/itm/251117735460?redirect=mobile

I'd have to buy the coils brand new because all three of my junk yards around here are gone. Any opinions would be awesome.

My plans are to lift it and next summer put 18x10's rims on it

If the OP's truck is a 1500 it will ride a little stiffer with 2500 coils. 3" spacers will feel the same as stock. Of course if you go 3"s you might want to consider an adjustable track bar. And get an alignment either way.
