Would coils improve ride quality along with 5100's?

[minimalist]

I'm leaning toward going with 5100's all around and a Daystar spacer for the rear. I was thinking 5100's set at 2.5 in the front and 1.5 for the spacer.

However, I'm curious about coils. I really want a lift that will improve ride quality both on and off road. Would I achieve a better ride with 5100's all around, front set at 0 and OME 884 coil for the front with something like a wheelers or SAW 1.5 coil in the rear?

Bilsteins, or any decent shock, will definitely be an improvement. If you lift the front 2.5 and put a 1.5 spacer in the rear, you may end up with reverse rake. I've got 5100s in the front set at 1.75 with ome rear shocks and ome rear springs that lifted the rear 2". It is a stiffer ride than stock, but still reasonable to me and great for off roading.

You cannot improve ride quality or performance both on road and off unless you spend $10K or so. Seriously. The vehicle comes with a suspension that has been tested by engineers to be the best COMPROMISE suspension (that is decently priced) for both on and off road. You can improve off road ride and performance, OR, you can improve on highway performance. Not both unless, again, you want to spend $10K or so.

A better ride I cannot guarantee nor attempt to define for you, but if you want a firmer ride, 5100s set at 0" with OME 2884s and OME 895e's do just that for me.

I guess I'm just not phrasing my question right. I just want a slightly firmer ride. It's a little too mushy for me. I just don't want too firm where bumps and what not are jarring
