06 with 103k miles feels "soft" over the bumps, I want to lift it a bit, would like to run up to a 33" tire, 275/70/17's or 285's. My original plan (and maybe still) was to add a spacer to the front and trick the back to get something around a 2" - 3" lift in the front and 1.5" or so in the back. Also, gotta keep running boards on so wife can get in...

Now I'm thinking of new shocks all around and I've read so many different set ups. It sounds like a big problem with the rear is if you go with a longer shock you risk an air bag slipping out. A few options I've seen are:

Go with spacers in front, trick the rear, see what happens...

Bilstine 5100's all around, lose the ride control (which is fine)(seems to be the cheapest upgrade)

ome 885 springs with 9000 shocks (around 2" in front), 9000's in rear

coilovers up front, expensive, I won't be wheeling hard anyway

I've also read that you need to do uca's if going over 2" in the front

Seems the majority of the lift threads are a few years old, just not sure what's the latest/easiest way to go.

 

IIRC the bilsteins have adjustable perches on the front shock bodies, which allow you to get some lift without changing springs.

With the rear, you can get a bit of lift, but the "spring rate" gets stiff pretty quickly as you go above stock height.
