Default Which 2" coil spring spacer? From $40-$120 -Quality?

I want to toss a pair of 2"-2.5" coil spring spacers in my 01' to bring the front up closer to level with the rear. I dont want the aluminum ones, but Ive found many different brands of polyurethane spacers, ranging from around $40 to $120.

Is there a difference in quality or anything between the cheaper ones vs the more expensive? Sometimes its better to spend the extra on better products, but should I now?

There are also several brands sitting right at $120 for the same thing, differences?

If I do the spacers in front and a lift block in the rear, Id like to try out a 285/65. A few more tire choices and availability for that size compared to the 285/60

Yea. I wanted a 275 minumum. But hardly anybody makes them in a A/T.
285 has more choices but most are 33s.
