Question about CoilOvers

Simple question if those with them dont mind helping answer. Some of you know I have an 09' with a 6" BDS sus lift, and a 2" BDS spacer kit for a total of 8" in the front. Im looking to replace the front strut and spacer kit with CoilOvers instead.

So, what size coilover do I need as in length ? King has released an OE replacement system for the stock 09' that is 2.5" adjustable. The BDS kit comes with replacement struts but uses the stock coil which may and or may not be longer than the stock ones, but if they were, the King's would not work as I would still need a spacer to achieve the 8"

Would the pro-comp coilovers that come with there 6" kit be the best bet and simply crank them up 2" ?

Needing the F150 gods to help direct me =)

That would not work, just like you said that is for a stock truck to level it out, basically its a badass leveling kit almost. Thats what I did, I actually have a procomp kit and bought the fabtech dirtlogic coilovers and cranked them up 2", procomp coilovers will fit even though you have a different lift. Hope this helps any
