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.

Thanks Rob, handling with the NLE gear is making me think about installing my buddy buckets so I can get some 4 point belts in there
This truck will be a canyon carver NOT a race truck.
I don't mind the ride but I'm going to change a couple of things here soon.
1) replace the front -2" spring for a -1" spring ( for a 3/5 total drop)
2) add Ridetech HQ shocks on all four corners
3) dump the factory style rear axle bump stops & install these killer progressive bumpers from Energy suspension

I'm quickly approaching the need for an entire aftermarket chassis set-up....
