Default Front Coil Spacers

Thinking about leveling the truck by raising the front instead of lowering the rear. I ran across some discussion of coil spacers, but they seem to be used mostly in combination with other compnents.

My question is, could they be used on their own, and if so, how badly would they affect the wear on the ball joints, or just generally screw up the front suspension geometry, thanks.

I dont think 1inch + - would cause problems.Just have the front realigned.
The daystars are expensive,Pepboys has something similar and cheaper.

The Daystars claim 2" worth of lift, which by my back of the envelope calculations would raise ride height to about even with a stock Z71. I guess no one has any experience with them.
