Default Spring replacement?

HEy guys. i have been looking at all the info about lifting our trucks and all
the different leveling kit options. All the info i found was really informative.
I was wondering if anybody looked into having eibach buld springs that are the same size as ours, just with a higher spreing rate, or just a slightly
larger spring. thins seems like it would be better than just shoving a spacer in the top of the spring mount. Anybody have any thoughts on this?

Well, yeah what about the strut then? We would need a longer strut too.

I would rather do a leveling kit, at least the spring and strut will last. A stronger spring would still pull the upper control arm down, and throw the geometry off, but on top of it, it will stretch the strut to long, creating another problem.
