I am entertaining the thought of spacers. Please tell me the good the bad and the ugly about these things. I just need two inches to level mine out. I have a 3" lift. What's the story on these things. I wheel sometimes but dd the most.

 

Spacers are not necessarily a bad thing. I have .75" spacers on mine just to level it out and they are fine. I have seen 1" and 1.5" but they are a little tall for my liking. No experience with the 2", but it might be a better investment to look at some RE coils from Serious Offroad or your favorite vendor. Last time I looked on his site they were very inexpensive.

 

Spacers.
The good: They're cheap. The bad: They're cheap.
They are definitely an inexpensive way to lift the front end up, and for many users this might be a suitable option. The main negative of the coil spacers is that they do not compensate for the now taller centre of gravity that your vehicle has. Essentially, the springs have to "work harder" to keep you vehicle upright. So, your Jeep will have less favourable street handling characteristics, if that is a concern for you. Also, with a spacer, your suspension travel will not be increased from stock, because there is only the same amount of spring to compress. With lifted springs, you may be able to get more flex out of your rig.
