If you put spacers only under springs, spring will stiffen, ride will get less comfortable, and you will NOT gain in total extension height, as it cannot go higher than struts can extend. That's SPRING SPACER.

So leveling (or cheap lifting) is mostly done by STRUT SPACERS, which add distance to seat of spring/strut (front setup, coilover). This adds height and in amounts of approx. 1 inch keeps stock ride performance and comfort.
Rear depends - if you have leaf springs, you add spacers and you are done. But if you have springs and separate struts, just spacers under spring will have the same effect, as SPRING SPACER, described above. But for cheapest version that will do.
