After going back and forth I finally decided on the Eibach Pro Truck lift system based on the following.
I couldn't be happier with the ride quality so far, I've only got about 100 miles on it as of right now. I'd say is slightly stiffer than the stock suspension, but not much and the brake dive is much improved.
For the wheels I went with the bronze Ray10s, timing happened to be right for me otherwise I wouldn't have played the supply and demand/hype marketing game. I decided to risk going with the 285/70/R17 KO2s and cross my fingers hoping they wouldn't rub... Well they did rub the front of the inner fender on both sides, just barely. I was able to push the fender liner up and screw it back down so it didn't rub. In reverse it was hitting the bottom of the bumper and the air dam. I marked these with 1" masking tape as a guide and trimmed them enough to not rub. I used a sharp box cutter, scored and cut through the painted bumper cleanly. I didn't want to use a rotary cut off wheel as they tend to melt the plastic.

Trimming:
- I realized most of my driving was going to be on road.
- I'm never going to adjust the height after its set, based on my previous experience with adjustable height suspension.
- I'm not going to be doing any sort of dessert running where I would need remote reservoirs.
- Price was right
- I didn't want a harsh ride, I wanted something similar to stock without the brake dive.
