I did the 1.2" with the rear links set at 65mm. Combined with M5 competition bump stops I shouldn't experience the harsh ride you commonly read about.
I'll be back with the results on that. If the ride sucks I'll run the links up a turn & rinse and repeat until it's comfortable.

The solid thrust arms will tighten up the front end. As the OEM units wear you will start to hear a clunk if you stab the brake pedal. These trucks will start to pull / float side to side as you drive once the OEM rubber deteriorates and the fluid leaks out. In theory I won't have to worry about replacing those bushings ever again. They are twice the price of OEM but if I keep the truck over 40-50,000 more miles they will pay for themselves. There is a chance they will add a tiny bit of NVH and a little more road feel to the wheel.
