Looking to install a 2.5 or 3.5 leveling kit. My question is will the front coil spacers effect the quality of the ride or will it be about the same as factory. Looking at pro comp nitro kit.

they wont affect "ride" as you are not changing spring rate. They will however affect handling and road feel characteristics should you not address the changed caster.

Is it better to put spacers in or new coil springs. I'm worried about ride and handling because the truck already has problems with death wobble at 24,000 miles and dealership says nothing is wrong with it

fix your issue before modifying. If you want a better ride than stock, do icon or carli coil springs with Fox shocks.

Is there really one clear advantage of one vs the other. There are thousands of trucks running around with one or the other. Really just wanting a level look so I can run 35s on a 12x10 with -19 offset to give it a better look.

I'm repeating myself now....

Do you want a better ride than stock? if so get good coils. if not, get spacers.

Spacers are budget. Replacement coils will be better IMO.. My truck did get a tiny rougher with spacers. I think cuz of the shocks.
