Default pro comp coilovers plus level?

I was wonder what would give me the best ride and function? I just ordered pro comp coilovers to replace my 6 inch spacer on my lifted 05.I want to get the front end up another 1 or 1.5 inches. I was wonder what would be best. Should I turn the coilovers up or put a 1inch or 1.5 inch leveling kit on top of my coilover? I not sure if it can be done. I also have total chaos upper control arms on the truck if that matters.

I was just thinking about the same thing. Same truck and lift as you. I think I'm going to just crank mine and then I ordered an add a leaf with the money I saved not buying a leveling kit.

So when I crank my coilovers another inch or inch and a half, how rough is my ride going to be? Also how will all my angles be?

I'm guessing they use a linear spring like fox does and I had the same question. If it is a linear spring then you won't notice any difference. I haven't tried mine yet but the guy at fox said it won't make any difference.
