I did mine with the ReadyLift spacers because I didn’t see any sense in getting rid of a brand new set of shocks. Rides the same as stock.
When the time time comes for new shocks, I’ll probably get some Bilstein 6112s. I may set them on the highest notch or only set them at .5” and keep the ReadyLift, don’t know yet. I’ve heard the ride can be harsh on the highest notch. don’t see this happening for another 20k miles or so.

Its not recommended to use any Spacer (like ReadyLift or any other brand) with adjustable Coilovers. You use one or another if all you want is leveled look. If you doing whole truck lift lets say 4 or 6" its the same procedure. You use special Coilovers that are made for 4 or 6" lift or just spacers on your stock shocks. You never use combination of both. Its one or the other.
So after an install with those you obviously get a front end alignment. If you had it aligned at the max height and you want to lower them because you want to tow something, do you need another alignment? The fox coil overs I’m talking about

The Fox 2.0 Coilovers are the entry level ones. If I remeber correctly in those you need to take whole coilover/shock off in order to lower or raise the height. They make Fox 2.5 Coilovers (more expensive) which you can get a a tool from Fox which allows you to adjust them on the vehicle. If you need to take them off to asjust then yes alignment will be needed.
Ended up doing the ready lift 2.25 level and a 3" rear block. Looks good and still has some rake. Picked some new Raptor wheels with less than 1000 miles including TPMS sensors.
One thing I've done to my truck after getting Raptor rims (but 285/70/17 tires) to reduce the raked look before getting a level, is add rear wheel liners. Here's a before and after. Not seeing that silver part of the bed through the wheel well makes it look lower. Nothing else changed. Before wheel liners Before wheel liners.
