coils!!!
just did the lift last weekend. PITA to get front springs in, but better to do it once, than multiple times. And get aftermarket shocks too. Even if you have to hold off for a month or two to save up... it's worth it. While installing it and seeing how much the stock shocks would limit flex, I'm very glad I waited and upgraded shocks at the same time.
I used the TF 9550 shocks and they are a very nice ride on road. Off-road will be next weekend. I've also heard from friends that the Bilstein 5100's are a great shock.
Good luck.

The install for the BB is almost exactly the same as the coil lift.... only you're keeping your stock springs. Get the springs. If you're budgetly-challenged (like me!) do the lift now with adapters and get the shocks later. Then you can tell all of us (translation:ME) how much more articulation you get with the new shocks!
