Max. amount of spacer lift?

I have an 04 SuperCrew and was wanting to lift it alittle. What is the highest amount of lift I can do with a coil spacer that is safe for the front susp.? I was thinking of 2 or 2.5 in. but don't want to much strain or wear and tear on the front componients.

Also, does anyone know of an add-a-leaf for the rear that only adds up to an inch and no more?

the most it is recommended by every one on here to go would be 2.5". Some swear by the 2.5" kits while others still find this to be a little harsh on your ball joints. I went with the 2" kit because I did not want to take the chance. Otherwise there is not a lot of wear and tear on the front end suspension.

Don't run a lift spacer taller than 2.5 inches of lift.

That is what I was going to go with, up to 2.5 but wasn't sure.

I was planning on adding a add-a-leaf also, because I do haul a trailer and hate it when the rear of a truck sags. Any sugg.?
