    Not sure if this is in the budget, but I really liked the Bilstein 6112 setup. Probably the closest to a coilover in ride with less than half the cost.

    Since you're not into taking the truck off-road much, a set of 5100 probably would work great for you.

    The 5100's will be a great choice for you.

    Are you keeping the 4.5" Rough country lift and just replacing the shocks for it? or are you removing the 4.5" lift and looking for a smaller 3/1" lift or just front level?

    Ok so I am fairly confident that you have an above coil spacer in the front. Would be pointless to replace with a full length at this point because $$$. You really don't even need adjustable, just stick length shocks. You might be best of getting some recent newish pull offs from a TRD truck with low miles for cheap. Next option would be the 5100s set at stock height and reusing your stock springs.

    For the rear do you have full length shocks or is there an extender for the stock shocks?

    Not sure, haven't even looked into it yet. Let me do some research but shipping might kill the deal.
