Floor stand compressor:
These are only $110 or so, seem much easier to use?

I've searched for days and can't find an easy answer to this question. I plan on putting Bilstein 5100's and using the #4 1.75" slot. Nothing more. Standard Bilstein 5100's on the back of course. My question....Will this have a noticeable bad affect on the CV and ball joints and other things, or will it not be a problem. Also, is an alignment needed for this setup. I am running BFG KO2 275/70/18's

At that height all your suspension components will be fine provided they’re in good shape currently. Yes you need an alignment.

Default My 2015 Lariat

2.5
2.5" Mammoth Front Level and went for 17x9 -12 wheels and fit 295/70r17 with no rubbing at full tilt. I did have to remove my front mud flaps but well worth it. Very pleased with how it turned out. Not over the top, just right.

Hate to beat a dead horse, but a couple more questions for clarification. 1) Is that a front end only or all wheel alignment I'll need and, 2) Will the ride get stiffer the farther up the shock you go with the height clip. As in does a higher lift make the ride stiffer? It seem the answers I've read are both ways. Is there a definitive answer? I reckon maybe I'm overthinking this.

1. Can't adjust the rear alignment.
2. No, ride height shouldn't affect ride quality.
