Do your self a favor. At least get a 2.6 coil lift a little more money but the ride is well worth it along with offroading Trust me. I know.
Do it right the first time Hers mine p. a teraflex 2.5 coil lift.

That looks more like a leveling kit. BB spacers are thicker. I guess you call a leveling kit a cheaper BB. Lol!

The spacers themselves are all the same. One isn't better or worse than another. Some kits are a little more complete : brake line brackets, track bar correction, bump stops. It's a good cheap place to start or end if you don't off road. I ran a 2.5" BB for 2 years then got a teraflex 2.5". The coil lift is a little better on road and can absorb a lot more bumps off road. I don't hit my bump stops like I used to. Not all coils are created equal. They range from way worse than stock to way better than stock. Definitely try a search cause lift kits have been covered to death. Here's my 2.5" BB on 33"'s.

Check out the Rancho 2" sport lit with the RS9000's. I have been really happy with it.
