Question Usable Body Lift

Currently running a 2.5" TF coil kit w/ 35's. I want to verify an idea floating around in my head..

First off I've grown to like the stock flares and do not like the cut look.

I've read that body lifts do not improve suspension characteristics, BUT...

If I were to install a 1" BL, extended brakelines, and reduce my bumpstop height(or remove them), it would essentially allow more uptravel for improved flexing, correct?

Thanks

They do touch (barely). I'm not sure what the collapsed length of the TF shock is...guess i'll have to do some research and measuring.
