Looking for advice on lifting my "new to me" 2021 F150 Limited.

I've spent endless hours and AI researching lifts, I'm new to the F150 world and think the 4" with 35's +1 "ish" offset seems to be just about perfect in my opinion..

I've ran the Eibach Pro Truck stage 2r on my last truck and Bilstein 5100's on everything else I've owned so I'm partially looking for how the M1's stack up

I'm now looking for opinions on anyone who has actually ran the Rough Country 4" M1/M1 no cut lift kit with knuckles and UCA's.. I'm concerned with CV angles and not totally convinced UCA's and knuckles would resolve it all... that said, Icon has the same methodology with there 3.5-4.5" kit🧐. With such little available for reviews on this kit I'm trying to decide if i want to be a Guinee Pig or go standard 4" Lift.

The other option I'm considering is the standard 4" Zone/BDS/RC kit with Diff drops but would want increased ride quality with struts eventually. My reservation with these is price when you get into struts. It jumps rapidly and I'm admittedly 95% pavement and 5% logging roads so its not something i can justify. I was considering the 4" kit with a set of 5100's/6112s/eibachs set to zero to make up the ride quality?

Please excuse the brain dump here but I've seemingly exhausted the internet and am looking for some real world opinions!

I have the 4" BDS kit with Fox 2.5 DSC's all the way around. I'm on 37x12.5x20 Toyo Open Country A/T III tires. OEM upper and lower control arms. Ride is just fine with some expected harshness from Load Range "E" tires, and I've had no issues with the Fox 2.5's.

FWIW, On a different truck (13' EB SCREW) I have a 3" lift (blocks / spacers) with Icon shocks all the way around, and Icon UCA's. That truck is on 305/55/20's and rides just a little better, but honestly very hard to tell any difference.

We will try and speak from an open mind here and just know this is just an opinion!

Kick RC out, consider BDS with Fox. BDS makes great stuff. Even though we usually do not enjoy spacer kits, BDS does make some solid stuff.

If you need some help deciding or just need a kit let us know. We are always happy to help forum members out any way we can!
