Default 3" Control Arm/Spacer Lift vs. Rancho Coilovers

So looking into 2 different products for my 2017 XLT 4x4 SCrew. Does anyone have any information or guidance for me.

1) 3" control arm and spacer lift from rough country. Looks like a quality product to give me a good ground clearence but also a nice stance. Here is the link. This one use reps your factory suspension and adds a spacer while also changing control arms to maintain the factory geometric angles reducing common wear and tear.

2) The next is the Rancho Quiklift Coilovers. This would only replace the factory coilovers with new ones and change the height to about 2" taller which I don't believe would bring me level to my rear.

Just want to see what people opinions are and if they have used either of these products before.

Bilstein 5100's over the rancho would be my choice.

I've had the Rancho Quick Lift Loaded for a couple of years now, because the shocks are adjustable, I'm happy with the ride quality.

I had the quick lift for a year and felt the ride was rough. Adjusting didn’t seem to make a difference.

They’re easy to install though. But I say save up and do a 4” lift instead.

Or do Bilsteins all around.

I'd go with the Blistein 5100... Strut spacers will give you a ****ty ride. It's not THAT bad, but it still affects the suspension's geometry, even with an upper control arm.

I've had a 3'' strut spacer lift on my Tacoma and they banged a lot over speed bumps because of that.
