Yes the ride height of the truck will go up when you preload the spring more yet the topped out height will not change I think that the bilsteins with max preload will have a poor ride the combo I have with 08 pro 4x springs and the bills set at 0 seems really good, nice ride ,good damping and not a lot of sag when the truck is set down. All my measurements are based around the uca hitting the bucket before the suspension tops out.The uca hitting the bucket is very destructive when you bottom the suspension the bump stop help decelerate the movement.There is no top out bump stop accept for the upper shock mount if the uca hits the chasis before the shock stops there is an incredible shear load applied to the system and the weakest part will fail. if it is still close with the shorter spacer then i will install limiter straps
