If you are serious about the fabtech kit you should call them and discuss your project and they will configure it how you want it.

With a threaded coil over shock changing the lift height is a matter of adjusting the collar.
Adjustment range will depend on the springs free length, longer or shorter springs are easily interchanged.

I concur that the way that kit is shown is pretty lame, if you are going to that level of expense then get the new leaf springs they offer.

I think I am going to wait after the replies and research. Time just does not allow it right now, or I have to pay someone, not!

Do you want stock ride height or lifted ?

If you go with a lifted setup I would make sure there is a method of adjusting the castor.
Some of the kits ( like the one you first posted) drop the radius arm bracket down as a "correction" but that doesn't always equate to the proper castor.
