Spindles were made by AIM at one point, but due to low demand they no longer produce them. Coil spacers are ok, but like lift coils may cause odd tire wear and alignment problems. They do make ball joint spacers to attempt to correct this problem. A 3/4" coil spacer will provide about 2" lift. For a cheap lift to run larger tires a body lift isnt a bad deal, though i hope your bed is in good shape and i hope you dont plan on hauling heavy loads, i have seen beds bend in the middle. Spindles would be the best lift and i have heard you can machine the control arms to fit 88-98 lift spindles.

btw...what size tires are you wanting to run? i run 32x11.50x15 with HD front coils and stock rear.. also if you are wanting larger tires, you can run 'glass fenders on the front and fit 35" tires with no lift. They make fiberglass bedsides for shortbeds, but havent found any for longbeds... yet..
