Will a 2" spacer hinder my performance?

I've never owned a truck with aftermarket suspension and I know they're just bilsteins but wow did it feel so comfortable compared to my stock 2014 ram and 2016 sierra.

Does anyone know if a spacer will make my suspension feel like crap? I plan on getting control arms to change the ballpoint angle.

I don't have a Rebel, but my Laramie has zero difference in ride with the spacers. Changing out the wheels and tires a week later made a bit of difference (heavier, stiffer side wall, etc), but the spacer for leveling made no difference at all.

Sharp truck! A 2" spacer should be ok, just dont go any more than that. It'll put cv axles at a terrible angle. And definitely replace the control arms.
