Hi all new poster, old reader.

I'm currently running a zone 6 inch lift with 5 rear coils, bils all around with them set at 2.1 after removing the 5/8 preload spacer.

I'm looking for an assembly or shock and spring to replace the top hat strut spacer, as i believe it will improve ride quality (more travel length?) and look better.

I've searched but have only found longer shocks for older trucks that have eyes on both ends.

Also I'm not looking to do full on $3k coil overs as I'm not doing any serious off roading.

Thoughts?

Not a lot of options in that realm for you. You have $300 RC 6" QL struts, $1000 RC 6" Vertex Coilovers or $1750 Fox 2.5 6" Coilovers.
