    Consider the 5100s. The .85 setting will level the front. If you decide to lift more you can add springs later and the 5100s will work with a coil lift. They are valved the same as the 4600 OR shocks but at least this way you'll be future proofing if you want more lift.

    Also I did mine w/o a compressor. To do so you need to jack the LCA up enough to load the coil, then remove the nut on the shock piston and slowly lower the jack to release the coil. There are plenty of videos that detail this method better so please check them out before attempting it or considering it really. If done correctly though I prefer this method to using most spring compressors you can get for less than a couple hundred $.

    BF KO2 with FN Fx Pro's (Matte bronze) Levelling kit 2,75" Front and 2" Rear.
    I run a space lift from ready lift.
    2,75" in the front and 2" in the back.

    It works just fine if you don't offroad. In the front, it doesn't affect anything and you only need a wheel alignment. In the back it will extend your shock a little bit.

    Doesn't affect handling at all and comfort stays the same.

    Yes a full kit with new shocks is more high end, but is it better if you ride normally on roads? I don't think it makes a difference.
