Raising the front end

I am considering raising the front end on my 04 F-150 to level out the rake. There are apparently sveral ways to do this. I am considering Bilstein's adjustable strut and several different spacer kits. I have a concern about front axle shafts wearing and would like input from someone who has done this.

I am running 2-1/2" strut extensions. Have had them for about 40K miles with no axle wear issues. I passed on the Bilstein's back then but in hindsight, that should have been my choice. If you choose to go that route, call Jeff at TopGunCustomz. $381.00 for all four.
