Coil-overs, when fitted into the OE front subframe, tend to be a little shorter than we would like, limiting the total suspension travel available. - These need to be fitted with stiffer spings to limit the travel so that the shocks don't top/bottom out all the time. That combination does not lend itself to a 'smoother' ride. Most 'drop' springs have the same trouble, they are stiffer than the OE, or the same rate. I would try the Jeep coil in the rear, and the spec'd cut truck spring up front. (I know the numbers are in the thread, monster that it is, I'd look them up for you but I am out of the shop today - maybe someone else can help here) From where your at shocks will make all the difference. I'd go Bilstien, RideTech HQ, or Viking DA.
Our shock relocation kit will NOT handle a coil over. But, we are working on a trailing arm/coil-over/C-notch package that will be available in jan/feb '16.

Would love to see some pictures
