I'll second monkey space. I have the 3.5" x factor with progressives. Great on and off road. But at slow speeds on bumpy roads, the rear can be squishy sometimes.
I chose rk over MC after riding a buddies rig with. MC. The springs were way too squishy for my liking

I was looking at both of these shocks for a while and ended up staying with my bilsteins, and waiting on fox adjustables. The rancho adjustables only go up to a 10.5" travel before you have a 19" collapsed length. Same thing goes with the RRD's an 11" travel RRD has a listed collapsed length of 18" in the front. I couldn't fit these with the mounts I have right now. Something to think about, make sure you measure before you settle on which shocks to run.

You running 2.5" or 3.5"? What length Foxes are you going with? I'm running 9000XL 31/32s, after trying a bunch of different settings, didn't like how they rode. They heat up fast on washboard too so I'm probably going to return them. Currently looking at either Fox or Radflo with reservoirs.

I'm running the 2.5" 4 door coils and with a 1" spacer in the front, I still have a little rake. I was thinking of swapping in 3.5" 4 door coils in the front which is the exact setup you have right now (4 door 2.5" are 2 door 3.5").
Looked at coilovers too but the price of mounts and labor would bring the cost up a lot.
