Wondering if it’s possible to do a mild lift only replacing the springs. I’m only wanting 1-1.5” of lift and comfortable keeping the factory rake. Not wanting to do a spacer. Can’t find much info on the stock shocks and if they’d support swapping to different springs to achieve this goal. Thoughts?
Spring only lift?

Technically this would be possible up front, using the standard struts without any electronics attached to them. As soon as companies release different coil spring options. Dobinsons have a line coming, but the minimum front lift height will be 2.0". I'm not sure if they'll actually fit onto stock struts though, as they're doing the 2.6" body shocks for them.
In the rear, limited down travel from stock shocks is usually a restriction for adding a lift and keeping the stock shocks. I haven't been around these yet to see how much droop the rear shocks have from stock height. They need to have at least 2" of droop left on average with the lift installed for it to be ok. At least that's the standard we have used forever.

Thinking I'd be fine going with 2" but worried it will look over lifted with 33" tires. Will need to wait and see what Dobinsons releases

Check out @Dixon Santana suspension thread if you haven’t already, he has ~2.5 lift with 275/70R18 and looks perfect.
