Hey I have been considering this as well. My wheels rub when fully locked going left. No rub going right, but I think a good set of spacers would fix it. Although I haven't done it yet because of the things you mentioned Z. Does anyone run spacers? Does anyone else's tires rub? Mine look like they rub on the frame itself.
I have been running 1" wheel spacers for almost 2 years with no issues. tires are 285/75/16 on stock wheels. I had some rub when cranked. i'm sure you'll get a lot of opinions, just letting you know from my own experience.
I ran spacers/wheel adapters on a couple of my vehicles with no problems. As long as you don't run too large of a spacer you will be just fine. As far as the lift just save the extra money and do it right with coils and not spacers.
I've run spacers on the front of my D1 (only the front as I did it for better turning radius) for about 11 years. I'm not sure I'd do it on a DII because of the different hub design. It would be a lot more expensive to replace the hub bearings if there were any negative effects.

As for coil spacers, unless you are using them with a new set of H D springs, they shouldn't be used, your truck will just become more top heavy/unstable when used on old warn out coils.
Another things I'll ad is that I ran 2" coil spacers when I first bought my truck. Really they were fine under most conditions but when you start running roof racks, RTT's, camping gear, beer, hi-lift jack etc etc. The tired old coils with a spacer just don't do a good job. If I was to do it all over again, I would just save up and go straight to HD coils.
Maybe no issues in town or on fire roads, but your truck will become less stabile on the highway, especially if you have to swerve and when off road you will be more prone to the top heavy Disco on angles.
