    Yeah, the 1/4" of shock adjustment to 1/2" lift has to do with the length of the control arms, and where the shock mounts to the control arms.

    That's going to be the same unless you have after market lower control arms.

    yeah, hard to tell from the various pics, but you do look like you're too high. But you can maybe see that in my pic, the pleats form the CV boots aren't touching, but on yours, they are, and least on the outer boot.

    Yes, as I mentioned, the coilover doesn't matter - 1/4" causing 1/2" is the same regardless of brand - they are all the same as far as the truck is concerned - a tube with a spring around it. Doesn't matter what tube and what spring - the geometry is still the same.

    Current hub-to-fender measurement, running ADS coilovers (again, doesn't matter the brand) is 21 7/8" (I think I also mentioned this above) which is about 1 7/8" lift over stock.
