appreciate it. I did some looking around today and settled on the bds with a fox upgrade for the rear.

Can you expand on the preload spacer? I had never heard of these before. I kinda understand how they work. Are they better or worse?

The preload spaced goes in the strut assembly, on top of the coil spring. You can go about an inch on preload befor it gets to stiff. A preload spacer will limit down travel time n the suspension. The leveling spacer mounts on top of the assembled strut. On a 4x4 you are limited to no more than 2.5” with a leveling spacer due to issues with the axle shaft angles, especially if too much down travel, or droop, occurs.
There is a kit on the market that ReadyLift offers. It’s the 3.5 SST system. It combines a small preload spacer with a leveling spacer for a total of 3.5” of lift. I haven’t seen any reviews on it yet.

Halo/F150 Lifts makes a replacement coil over set up that gets 3” from preload alone, but the shock is designed for it. Most go 2.75” to avoid a rough ride.

I'm dealing with this situation myself. I was always under the impression that you didn't want to go too much over 2" due to cv angles, and balljoint angles. The UCA replacements seem to be the way to go if you do want to go higher, but then your cv axles are still going to be a problem. I'm not sold on cutting the truck apart to get the 4", especially when the majority of those are simply a bigger spacer anyway.
