Default Looking at Replacing my leveling kit with something better?

I have been looking at replacing my leveling kit of spacers and blocks with the Bilstein 5100 shocks front and rear. as in hopes of eliminating the bump steer I have in the front and wheel hop in the rear of the truck. now I don't know a whole lot about lifting trucks, bc mainly I was always dropping them or bagging them. im looking for input on what really is a good option right now. the 5100 are on national back order until mid May or so. I leave to drive to Alaska at the first of May.


im looking for the best replacement right now that is available with out over doing it. any ideas

monotube design, lift up to 2" and for a very good price. I'd search online for some reviews and make your decision from there

I've thought about the 4 or 6 lift. From what I've looked at though it seems all the 4 or 6 lifts seem permeant so once you install them that's it. I want something that if I wanted to take it off the truck I could.

I've thinking about doing the pro comp ride height adjustable shocks, bilstein 5100 shocks in the rear and add a leaf to the lead pack so I can remove the blocks from the rear. I think that is very feasible, no?
