    I would like to get between 1-1.25 inches of lift in the front without causing a harsher ride or cause any vibrations. I'm hoping there is a way to get exactly 1.25. I wanted to get bilsteins but there is no I between for the .85 or 1.75 settings. Is there are way I could get the lift I want with still getting bilsteins. I have an 06 4x4 and I don't want it to be hard on the differential or the cv boots or joints. Also I still want to be able to align it properly. I have stock 3 leaf and want it to sit level. Any recommendations?

    Icon, fox or king coilovers are your best options.

    Would setting the bilsteins on .85 and adding a .25 spacer be bad? Are there any downfalls of spacers?

    DD mainly. Occasional off-roading...just to get to hunting or fishing spots, nothing extreme at all.

    Is it bad to use the ome coils with the stock strut?
