Combining a 2.5" Truxxx spacer lift with Bilstein 5100 adjustable front shocks

I know there's a lot of useful information on here, and I did some research, but didn't see anyone with this combination (did find an excellent spreadsheet though). Has anyone combined a spacer lift like mine (2.5" truxxx, which realistically only lifts it 1.75" or so after sag) with adjustable Bilstein suspension. I'm not looking for a lot more height, but if I were to buy them, I'd like to adjust them up 1/2"-3/4" in height. It seems I could do this, as the truxxx doesn't affect the preload on the stock coil. What are your thoughts on this, maybe i'm overlooking something..Thanks

The issue with that setup is going to be the about of down travel. The 5100s are longer than stock shocks, so when you add the spacers on to of the shocks, you're now allowing more down travel that will push other front end components out of their safe operating range. Also, you run the risk of over compressing the shocks.
