Currently have bilstein 5100's and a 1.5" body lift.
The front is sagging a little bit holding up my tire upgrade so I need to raise the front a little more via suspension spacers. Visually, I feel like 1" in the front should do it but when I measured the gaps from the top of the tire to the body of the truck, the gap in the rear had 2.5" more distance than the front. So should I go with the 2.5" spacer? Is there a better way to figure out how to level everything?
Also is it safe to add the spacers on top of the 5100s even though I believe the 5100s are maxed out along with the 1.5" body lift in play? Any issues with adding more height at this point?
One other thing, I've heard front suspension spacers give you double the lift so would the 1" actually be 2" of net lift and the 2.5" actually be 5" of net lift?
Here's a current pic of truck and a link with the 2 spacers im choosing between.

ANSWER: got an experienced mechanic to answer, said don't go higher than 1/2" spacer in the front with that setup. I'll leave this here for anyone else doing searches later on.
