Around $1,500, which is best suspension for me?
Been trying to read a lot on it and I'm ready to buy a suspension level. Wanting to throw toyo at2 33x12.50's on stock platinum 20's. So for the lift I've been looking at fox, f150 lifts and icon.
Biggest question is that with fox I can afford to go 2.0 and do all 4 shocks, I think would be fine because I only do light offloading in cow pasture kind of stuff. Would it be best to do all 4 or put all of the budget into just the front like the icon setup?
Another question is the difference in ride since I've heard almost all are digressive except fox which is progressive.
Lots of on road, occasional rough back roads and slow speed in the pasture.
Help me out!

For another 500.00 get the BDS 6 with FOX shocks and call it a day. Rides better than stock and your truck will stand out like Sterling at the million man march!
You will notice I have stock wheels.

I'd wait for the Boss coilovers. plenty of lift for your size of tires you want, but not out yet. wait for them to see whats up. From the description it will meet your needs perfectly, but needs to come out first to know. Fox is over rated, and Icon does not lift that much. Could also look at the bilstein 5100s as well. Could also do the rancho quicklift if you dont really want that much lift. better ride and some height.

[MENTION=156426]F150Lifts.com[/MENTION] just advertised their Fox 2.0 setup today for the same price as their Bilstein Ultimate lift setup. Check their site today or email Alex for additional details. The Fox setup sounds like a nice choice.
EDIT:
I saw this on their Facebook page.

Are the Boss coilovers rebuildable? I love what I've read about them so far but don't remember that and that's a big deal to me because I just paid this one off and plan on keeping it around for the long haul and don't want to have to keep buying shocks over time... That also means the ranches are out. I also don't want to do a big lift, though that BDS setup looks BA I just want leveled, I like the way it looks with more of a stuffed fender well like the camburg truck looks.
Any ideas on how different the Boss will ride from the Fox 2.0? I'm not 100% sure I understand how the difference in one being digressive and one progressive will really affect the ride.
I'd like it to roll less in corners but still have some compliance when hitting bumps if that makes sense. Stock rolls in the corners but is jarring with square bumps with a little bounce afterward.

Yes the Boss shocks are rebuildable, but rebuildable at the factory because the the way they are nitrogen charged. Therefore, we will have a rebuild program. Need your Boss's rebuilt, just send them in and we will have a rebuilt set to send you. Yes, there will be a rebuild charge, program details still TBD.

I will be going with the Camburg Fox Combo Trail Series 2.0 kit from Tap Auto. It is a hell of a kit and really takes alot of stress off of it. I would look into an add a leaf or a bigger block for the rear or you might be getting the pre runner look when you put some weight on it.
