These are the H&R Springs I that used and I love them, the ride is "stock ish", but you know the roads there, if that makes sense and I got a solid 1.5" drop out of them after they settled in for a few days\week ish.

For struts and shocks I am running Bilstein B6s, front and rear, I really like these also, thing I noticed is that (and I have always slowed rolled speed bumps) at "speed bump" speeds, there is up the front side and down the back side, but absolutely beautiful everywhere else
I also did the Eibach (anti) Sway Bars with hard urethane bushings, incredible improvement really to body roll and turn in, what I notice the most is that prior to the bars I would have said the truck was "Gazelle" like, sure footed as all get out in just about any conditions! What I would say after the bars is that the truck is still "Gazelle" like, but in the since that it took me a minute to learn to re-drive it because they way I used to corner

, now (easily) produces noticeable wheel spin of the inside rear tire.
I did urethane thrust bushings also and I (probably) could have done without these and gone with Myle HDs or even stock, they can be a bit harsh on rougher roads.
Next steps (when my sorry butt is back to work from Covid...) I am going to either snag some 20" wheels with the right offset to sit flush with the wheel lips or (and probably this option since I just got new "shoes" on the 18s) snag some H&R 25mm spacers to fatten up the overall footprint.
EDIT: That 1.5" should have been 1.25", I got actually just over that in the front, but almost right at that in the rear.
