leveling a daily driver - spacer lift or 5100s w/ stock spring?

as title says. im looking to get the front end of my 14 up 1.5-2.0 inches. i want to keep a similar to stock ride quality, and dont want to spend $600+.

option 1 - use a spacer on top of the OEM shock/coil
option 2 - use a 5100 (or eibach equivalent) with OEM coil

 

I just went with option 2, I’m doing 1.5” in front with a 1” block in back. Keeps roughly half the factory rake, improved ride and doesn’t get into some of the more involved stuff when you go over 2”. Just my .02, good luck!

 

Don’t do spacers. I did 5100’s to replace the spacer lift that was on my truck when I bought it. Well worth the small additional investment.

 

Option 3 - use Rancho Quicklift assembled units so you don't have to dick around with 7-year old OEM coils and top hats.

 

looks decent, but i dont want 2.5'' of lift up front, nor do i want to touch the rear end. just looking for 1.5 or max 2.0 up front to level things out. Thanks
