On my 2005 F150 I had a 2.5 autospring spacer. After about 30,000 miles (around 60,000 total on the truck) I started having issues with my ball joints, cv axles etc. Pretty much rebuilt the front end suspension and went back with the Rancho quicklifts. Ran those for over 60,000 miles before I sold it and never had another issue.
My 2015 I installed a 1.5 autospring spacer since there were no quicklifts available when I bought it last year. It seemed to work fine but I just replaced it with the new quicklifts. The ride with the quicklifts is so much better and I feel like it is easier on the front suspension components.
If going with a spacer I would stay at 2 inches or less. But if you can afford to upgrade to the quicklifts they are worth every penny IMO.

The ride is totally and easily adjustable. Settings from 1-9 with 9 being the stiffest.
I also installed the rear rancho shocks so I can adjust all four corners. I started out at 4 all around and it rode really good. Not too stiff and a sportier feel.
Only had a few weeks so for but I have been playing around with the setting some. Currently I have the fronts set at 3 and the rears at 4. The truck rides just as soft as it did from the factory but has less body roll around corners.
