I can't opine on 35's but i do have a HBS 2.5" level that I installed myself. With jackstands under the frame and the level installed and nothing under the lower control arm, the upper control arm was hitting the coil. An alignment did not fix this either. IMO if I ran it real hard offroad it would bash my coils to smithereens.

You are running quicklifts with a spacer on top?? Dont think that was designed to mount like that.. Its like stacking 2 spacers... How long you been that way?? Post a few photos.. I'm curious and new ideas are starting to gather in my head... I'm going up to 6 1/2 inches soon

The QLs yield less than 2" on a lot of 4x4s cause they don't support weight properly. I bet it's like running a 2.5" level with the daystar on top. A member on F150online has QLs and a winch/bumper and is getting basically get 0" lift from them.

Yes i stacked them.... I got 3 inches total lift from the combo... Thats what it took to get the truck level... And with the fronts on full soft it rides like a dream. The only complaint that I really have is the added bump steer but It's not bad.

My future plans are to remove the spacer and run the rancho's with a 6 inch lift.

I asked that question a while back to Rancho... Could I run the quicklifts with a actual lift and they told me NO.. If i did, I would loose lift... NOW with that being said... They have the Rancho 7000's that are for the 6" lift that they have for the 2009-14 trucks... I asked them about that and got no response...
