Default need suspension help

I have a 2015 screw with the 2.7 Ecoboost. I mainly drive on roads and never really off-road other than ice fishing. I want to level the truck and do not want to use strut spacers. I have narrowed it down to either

Fox 2.0 coilovers or Bilstein 6112 front struts and bilstein 5160 rear shocks. Will consider other options in the $1300 range.

Any help would be appreciated.

The Bilstein setup you mentioned is great, but it might be overkill if you never go off road. You might want to look at the Bilstein 5100's front and rear. The front have adjustable spring perches, so you retain the stock spring. No strut spacers are being used. Most of the people on the forum swear by their 5100's and I am also running them.

I looked into those. When I ice fish the ice roads can get pretty beat up. will the 5100 handle that or will the 6113 be better for that application

Can't go wrong with the 5100's. Got them on mine, and love them.
