cranking coilovers

does using preload on coilovers degrade the ride?? It is a stiffer/firmer ride? I decided on a coilover and UCA package and the coils can be cranked to gain some hight but I was wondering if it would ride better if I still used like a 2inch As then only crank like a half inch??

Yes... it will be a stiffer ride. It would deff be fine to use a 2 inch spacer on top and crank the coilovers if you are getting the total chaos UCA...

By the way which UCA and coilover did you choose?

Total chaos UCA and the racerunner coilover. they are a set and the UCA come with the mounting kit for the racerunners rezzy. I have honestly had at least 6 people tell me not to lift it because it would just blend in with the all the others lifts. Has anyone else been told not to lift it because it looks good as is? Everyone has told me cool shocks would be wayy cooler then a lift that everyone has. I live in AZ and everytruck is lifted and they said it would look different not being lifited
