If I get the 1'' coil spacers front ant 1.5 inch rear   would this put my CVs in to much of a bind without a diff. drop??   Wouldnt it be like a 3'' suspension lift??  This IFS is all new to me.....

The front lifts 150% of the spacers actual size. So if you have a 1" spacer, the lift will be 1.5".
1" spacer = 1.5" lift
1.5" spacer = 2.25" lift
2" spacer = 3" lift
You can safely use up to a 1.5" spacer in the front without any major problems. Your joints should be okay, but if you have old CV shafts, you could get a torn boot after some time. Also, the lift is only limited to how much down travel you add to the strut. You should add the same as what you lift it, or more, but no more than 2" without lowering the front axle.

Keep in mind i already have a 2''BDS suspension lift on my truck.  I was asking if the 1''coil spacer on top of the BDS is going to be just fine.  OME struts are on the way ;D

It doesn't happen immediately or even overnight, and you might get away with it for a while depending on how often you flex out the front end, but it WILL fail sooner or later. Keeping the size of the spacer up front at or below 1.5" dramatically improves reliability over a taller spacer. Plus 1.5" front spacers actually lift the front of the truck 2-1/4"...

Thanks Element. The diff. drop will be my next coarse of action if the spacer does not work.  Id still like to know if the 1'' spacer on top of my 2''BDS susp. will be somewhat easy on the CV's or anything else.

It will be hard on the CV...like they said, if you go more than two inch of lift, you will need too drop the front diff..

the angle will be a little harder but if you don't change the strut or strut spacer you are using you will not have more down travel than you do right now, so the maximum angle you are getting with your cv's will remain the same on the trail.  what you will end up with is more clearance but less front flex, make up for this with longer shocks out back to regain the flex somewhere..

........  sounds like I sould just get solid front     all that work to the IFS just doesnt seem to be worth it.   To much money    and no experience with this kinda stuff   I guess ill have to sleep on it, i just love the tracker to much to replace it with a {Mail truck Rubicon}  or something else.....

Steel front end, either an anvil from calmini or a later v6 5spd GV...

After running my lift, I have torn both my boots on my cv, I am getting a diff drop kit...
