I have a 2.5" spacer up front. So my question is what can I do to add at least another inch?
Best way to add another inch up front?

Really depends on what your set up is currently, If you are 4wd, your looking at a lift, I wouldn't go any higher than what your at as it will cause lots of issues with out replacing the spacer with a full lift kit. If you are 2wd, a spindle lift will get you up to 4", but again your looking at some additional parts. The year of your truck will also make a difference as to what you can and cannot do. The bilsteins cranked all the way up will give you more lift with the 2.5" spacer, but again, year of truck and drive will ultimately determine what you can and cannot do

You will need 5100s on the top perch to get that much lift without getting a whole new lift up front. The new bilstiens don't lift as much as the old ones did. The old ones would give 1.5" of lift on the middle, but now they only give closer to 1".
Also did you get get new ucas? Otherwise your gonna have some serious coil bucket contact.

I assume your 2wd because you have a 2.5" spacer. If so I suggest ditching the spacer and running a spindle lift. That will safely get you 4" Lift in the front and won't change your ride quality. Plus you will have absolutely no issues with getting your T within factory alignment specs. but if you don't want to do that just do like others have said and get 5100's and crank them but you will need new uca's for sure.
Thank you. I'll take your advise.

Hey no problem. I just helped clifford with his spindle lift and its very nice. He originally had a leveling kit and 08 4x4 springs on stock struts and the ride was terrible. Basically it had his suspension geometry beyond its limits(the suspension was at full droop with all the weight on it). This combined with the higher spring rate created an awful ride. The spindle lift got the lca's back to where they should be and we reinstalled the 2wd springs and the ride was back to the comfortable factory quality and now it will be able to get aligned.
