Stock height eb coils will probably give you about 2 inches of lift. I'm not sure If you can get lowering coils???? Your best bet is gonna be to get some stock ones and it'll level your truck out.

I'd get at least 2.5" or so lift on that so you have a little bit of clearance between your axle and the frame (bumpstop) before messing with flexier coils. Otherwise I don't see much to gain from it (the axle already reaches the bumpstop pretty easily at stock height w/stock coils).

I assume you've already ditched the swaybar?

What ever you decide don't get get the super flex EB coils, they are far to soft around 190PPI. I know from experience
