I am in the same boat. Just installed WildPeak AT/3 in stock size 265/70/17. Ride is definitely better, the "wallowing" is greatly reduced.
With Black Friday next week, I'm looking to level and not use spacers. It seems my choices are:
Bilstein 5100's / stock springs set to .85 or 1.75
or
Eibach Pro Truck / stock springs set to .8 or 1.6
I'd like to tighten up the factory ride without getting a harsh ride.
what do you guys think and anyone using the Eibachs with stock springs?
thank you

I can't directly compare the Bilstein and Eibach, but EVERY vehicle I've installed Bilstein on has firmed up too much,,,borderline harsh. For that reason alone I'm going to the Eibach/stock spring combo. Eric at Eibach assured me that the shocks are modular with the Pro Truck lift system , so if a person want's to go higher later, all they need to do is buy the rest of the kit.
Plus on another forum there is a detailed post on this exact setup ( Eibach and stock dprings) and the user noted how nice the ride remained with the Eibach vs Bilstein.
Edit: for what it's worth, I live in a rural area with rough roads so my bias as to what is harsh may be different from others results.
