Default What level kit to go with?!

So it's time, I've had my 11 f150 super crew 5.5 5.0 for s little over 4 months now, and it's time to level! I'm torn on what to go with, I've been looking at a few options and could use some input
Bilstein 5100 (front and rear)
Rancho quicklift
Autospring/ any other Brand spacer level
Zone level kit with shocks
Ideally in the spring when the snows gone I'd like to get new wheels and tires (not sure on wheeel, deff wanna run nitto 420s) so looking for suggestions! Just pricing things out currently

I've had Rancho QuikLift on 2 trucks and loved it. Rode better than stock, but not rough.

In order of increasing costs:
Any spacer kit
Bilstein 5100s
Fox 2.0
Icon
King

There are other options out there, but those are the only one's I personally recommend or put on my own truck.

I looked into a spacer kit but realized that the Bilstiens aren't too much more than some of the spacer kits I was looking at. I would love the fox kit but the price is a little steep, especially if I plan on doing a real lift in the near future, so I think I'll be going with the 5100s

If your looking for just spacers I have a used set off my truck your welcome to have. If your local just come and pick them up if you need them shipped just pay shipping.

You could, but why would you want or need to?

I don't know it just popped into my head, anyway with 62k miles on the truck, going with the bilstein probaly wouldn't be a bad idea as the factory shocks are probaly getting tired. Would new springs be recommended too?

Unless those springs are broken they are OK to reuse.
