Default Rough Country w/ 5100 bilsteins

First off i apologize because i know there are many threads about this but i couldn't find my exact question.. Just need a simple answer/advice.

So i've got a 2011 F150 ecoboost screw with a 6" rough country lift sitting on 35s.. what i would like to do soon is get it up to 8" and put on 37s.
My question is if I get 5100 bilsteins ride height adjustable and crank the front 2" and the rear 1" does that work in getting me up a little more to fit the 37s?
I feel like its obvious but I just want to make sure. And will they work okay with lift too or is there more I would need to do. Again sorry for the repetition but much appreciated in advance for any help !

Oh really? Do you know if there is something that works on 6" lift.. My ultimate goal is to get up to 8" I just would rather not stack a level kit

Although I have heard that this will work I believe..

Well they also have bilsteins rear shocks that can add an 1" is that enough or do I need an add a leaf ?

Also does anyone know it 3.55 gears would be okay with 37s or do I need to regear too
