Hello everyone,

I have been looking for comparisons and not finding a lot of insight on my question.
My truck is non ORP and looking for slight lift in rear and a lifted front with a little rake. However i dont offroad often. My primary goal is on road comfort and comfort for fire roads. I intend to use Eibach struts and shocks. Also getting 18” wheels and will avoid E rated tires.

For the front should I find ORP springs to use with Eibach struts, or just go to their coilover?
I haven't seen if their spring is linear or progressive. If it matters.

For rear springs, I want to do about 1-1.5in lift.
The ones I found are Icon, Carli, Bilstein, matching Eibach, and ORP.
Icon and Carli seems to be dual rate.
Bilstein is progressive.
Again unsure on Eibach.
ORP is linear.?

Im open to all input on these setups. I periodically carry heavy loads and intend to get Sumo Springs in the rear to help prevent too much sag, so Im not worried about having too soft of a suspension.

If you want commuter comfort, leave it stock. The eibach struts/shocks will be more for when driving because they are usually heated towards increased handling. And the E rated tires will definitely make the ride more harsh
