Default spacers vs. spindles (leveling kit)

What is the preferred way to retain the saftey of the steering and front end and the ride characteristics. What do most people use?
I have a 2002 2wd quadcab 4.7L auto. I would like to fit 33's on my factory 17" alloy wheels.
Thanks

I bought the spacers without doing any research on them and it was a total bust. I would go with the spindles.

i have 1.5 daystars on my 07 2wd...no problems. i think if you want to go over 2 inch lift go with the spindles. about 285.00
