These are exactly the comments I was wanting to hear! As an IT guy, I live day to day with the premise of knowing what I know, and knowing what I don't know. And to be 100% honest, I don't know jack about suspension systems. Thank you so much for your input. For the time being I won't waste my money on anything more than 2" spacers so I can run larger tires. But in the mean time -- I will consider saving up some extra cash to swap the suspension out and put in a proper 3-4" lift. Thanks again -- These forums rock!
I'm 47 years old & have done custom suspensions pretty much 3/4 my life.
Now my personal knowledge lacks all the computer & IT stuff that you know very well! Lol!
We all have strengths & weaknesses!
Again here to help!

That's why I just went with the 1.5" AS kit and the 2" rear blocks (3/4" actual increase in lift over the 1.25" stock blocks) ... I didnt want to pay $2000 for a full suspension kit that I don't really need (even though 3-4" looks great). I just wanted to get level, gain a little lift, and get some bigger tires on my 20" wheels so that proportions looks proper.
Just so you can see, a 1.5" or 2" level kit with new tires will change the look dramatically ... here are my before/after pics of my truck (specs are in my sig):

It don't need much to get a better stance & looks great!!!
As I'm starting to get a little older now,.... This will probably be my last "full suspension system" I will probably buy & just stay with the mild leveling just like you did!
Looks great!

The advantage of the Fox or Boss coilovers is the increased front spring rate.
