Need some experience from guys with 883's and additional weight

[getlost]

Hi everyone
Im currently running the adjustable bilstein struts with stock coils and top out spacers. i have 890 and bils in the back. There is a 1" rake on the truck. I am about to buy a badland bumper which weighs 100lbs and im at a crossroads regarding a body lift. As of now i rub my 33" duratracs when off road. I know a 1" body lift should help with this but will the 883's and bilsteins give enough lift so that i wont need the body lift? I have pounded the pinch weld flat so i cant make more room.I need to tell the guy to build it for a body lift or not pretty soon. I dont want to pay anyone to install the body lift but i have no space to work on my truck. My neighbors are not impressed with the amount of mud i bring home already!
Any input would be appreciated.

i think the 883s are made to hold 100lb additional weight but had them paired with the ome 90004 shocks and i didnt really like them in my opinion it sat a little lower when i installed my arb bumber and the ride got stiffer i notice but maybe that was just me and as of the BL easy to do should take about 2-3hrs max
