Default 2001 Ranger XLT Mid Travel Setup

Hey guys.

So I have a 2001 Ford Ranger XLT RWD 4.0 SOHC, and I'm finally going to add some suspension to it. I'm trying to make a mid travel setup for trail riding mainly. I'm not going to be racing or jumping or any of that fun. That said I want everything to fit under the bed in the rear. I don't want to have to cut or run a bed cage. I've done my research over the various forums and have ended up with this parts list:

Camburg 5.5 Performance 5.5 Kit (https://camburg.com/shop/suspension/...mance-5-5-kit/)

Deaver Ranger F31 Leaf Springs (https://deaverspring.com/product/ran...t-rear-spring/)

Kartek Drop Flipped Shackle Mounts (https://www.kartek.com/parts/ford-r....-shackles.html

Camburg Extended Length Shackles (https://camburg.com/shop/suspension....-mig-shackles/)

Fox Performance 2.0 Shocks (https://www.4wheelparts.com/p/fox-r....KTK-980-24-649)

With this setup I should be pulling 10" in the front and I've heard 14" in the rear without cutting into the bed. Now for my questions. I want to run 33x10.5s without fiberglass fenders. Will I be able to pull out my fenders enough to clear those without rubbing? Also, The Camburg 5.5 kit comes with Bilstein 5100s, but they are not rebuildable or revalveable as far as I know. I wanted to know if I can throw some Fox 2.0s in there so I can at least tune them. The closest I've found are these Fox 2.0 Performance Series Smooth Body IFP - 980-24-648 (https://offroadwarehouse.com/i-1016....anger-2wd.html). Could I get those to fit with the Camburg 5.5 kit? Also, I'm wondering if there's any way to get 12" of travel up front with this kit? I've seen the Camburg 2.0 Shock Upgrade kit (https://camburg.com/shop/suspension/...k-upgrade-kit/), but I don't really think I'll want, (or can afford), to run a remote reservoir shock. I'm trying to build on a budget. What will be my best bet to get more travel out of the front, or at least be able to tune what I can get out of it? Thanks.
