Only if what goes wrong is directly related to this. e.g. I doubt you'd get spring warranty work done after doing this. But even that is arguable. So warranty concerns are minimal at worse.
Are you running a heavy aftermarket winch bumper up front or aftermarket bumper/tire carrier out back? I think I’m going to go this route too, especially after everyone’s results and seeing as how the F150 Raptor guys have been running various heights of spring perch collars on their Fox’s for years.
There are no other options other than what you see on this thread, which also would include the 2 1/2" RC lift that they "RC" claim doesn't work on Hoss suspension, though 2 people on here have already installed and seems to have worked fine. Number 3 will be me beginning of next week. You do have the option to completely change out the suspension with all new coilover system, that will be costly, but is an option.🫤
Nice work! Looks good. Maybe my measurements are a bit off? That’s too much of a delta. Maybe it’s my garage floor… either way- curious if you agree with my general assessment? If so it would seem there’s some consensus about the RPG/HOSS 3.0 and that would be helpful for others to know.Lift is on and he said everything worked fine. He thinks it looks and rides great and so do I. Actually gained about 3 1/2" in front and back is level. Getting alignment on Friday morning, but drives really nice. Love the look.
My front measurement was approximately 38 3/8" back was just about 40". Now both right about 42". 2 1/2" RC lift. New UCA's. I also have 1.25" Bora wheel spacers, also on the stock wheels. Did not have to modify the diff skid plate. For the light off-roading I do, even moderate, I am pretty confident that this will be just fine, and I have just over a grand into it. I went all out on my 16 Tacoma with King coilovers and Total Chaos UCA's which cost a pretty penny and I think overkill. I think this fits the bill at least for me.

Thanks, I really like them too. They are just low enough to work as a step, but not too low. I like that they say, Since 1966, on them. Seem like good quality, and easy to install. "Hookie Road", and only around $300.
I'm trying to get an update from Icon on their 3"/2" hybrid preload/spacer lift for Hoss 3.0. If this won't be available anytime soon I'm thinking of trying a workaround... In a video of the Icon install it says the front top plate spacer is shorter than the rear. So from that I'm assuming the front has 1.5" preload/perch spacer and 1.5" top spacer. I want to confirm with Icon on this, but if that's the case I could get the Icon kit, but just purchase the HOSS 3.0 compatible RPG 1.5" perch spacers for the front only. This would minimize the steering geometry/CV impacts of both lift types in the front, while allowing me to use the better rear option of the top spacer only. This would retain the hybrid design both Icon and Zone use, by replacing the narrower Bilsteins/SAS perch spacers in their kits with the RPG. RPG perch or lifts using the top hat spacers only seem to be HOSS 3.0 compatible, like the RC 2.5" kit. However, I don't want to go over a 2" puck in the front due to potential steering/CV impact (though RC tries to compensate with their drop bracket, but I have reservations with RC quality).
