I'd say figure extension travel after links installed, figure out weight at each corner (copy someone else at first) see how it rides. I like bilsteins but Kings are the shit. Your not desert racing so I would save my checkbook and go with a coilover you could afford $500-700 per corner-ouch.

You can get 2" sway-a-way emulsion shocks w/ coils and dual rate kit for about 400 a corner.
