Got my 4" Zone Offroad lift.. a few questions about Bilstein 4-6" strut replacements

So i picked up my zone offroad 4" lift kit. I will be lookign at getting a set of those hard to find 4-6" Bilstein adjustable struts for the front so i can get rid of the strut spacers that come with the kit. My question is.. since the struts are adjustable for between 4 and 6 inches, if i wanted to say raise my truck to the 6" setting later for whatever reason do i have to do any other modifications to the front end? or just simple adjust the struts to the 6" setting? That would be kinda neat if thats all i had to do but wanted to run it through you guys!

You can bump up to 6" easy as that! Just crank them up, new alignment and your at 6".

you have to take the coil off the strut assembly, theres a small ring that the spring perch sits on and boom 6"

Now let's say I did that and put the coil on the 6" setting. Since I only have a 4" kit therefor only 4" drop knuckles... Wwould the 6" setting be like basically a 4" kit with a 2" spacer as far as my cv angles are concerned? Just wondering what the downsides of thaat would be! Thaanks
