2007 White Double Cab

Hello Tacomaworld,
I am currently running the rough country 3 inch lift kit on my double cab long bed. Spacers in the front and blocks in the rear. As you all may be able to guess, the ride is absolutely awful. I would like to upgrade my lift eventually (when my wallet allows me to) and I am trying to weigh my options. I would like to upgrade to 5100's all the way around along with 885's and AAL in the rear (seems to be a popular option). However, seeing as I am 2wd, I have recently been leaning toward a 4 inch MaxTrac spindle lift. My question is, If i were to go with the spindle lift, remove the spacers, and swap the block for an AAL, would there be any damage to the coils or struts after removing the spacers? Also, would the ride quality become noticeably better? And finally, with the spindles and stock struts/coils in the front, would i regret not going with the 5100's and 885's as far as ride quality is concerned? First post by the way so bear with me

Edit: I have no clue how i posted this in the "wheels and tires" section, but that is not where it was meant to go and I cant figure out how to move it
