Teraflex 2.5 coils vs the Rock Krawler coils
I can only comment on the springs I have, they are the TFs. I think they ride like stock. I commute 27 miles each way, and this was important to me... I am using the extensions on stock Rubi shocks also.
I dont know about the TF coils, but the RK ones with my E rated tires are a little on the stiff side, but I dont mind. I am sure the ride will soften when I switch to C or D rated tires. I am happy with them, so far, off road.

Maybe it's the Bilstein 5100s that are causing a stiffer ride?
Your tire load rating has huge implications on how rough the ride is...go D or even better C load range.
The RK coils are progressive rate which is a big advantage with such a shallow lift when you add bumpers/winch etc.
TF Coils are not progressive. I have these and they ride fine with the D rated tires and bilstien 5100s
Heck I've been playing with tire psi to find the magic setting.
At 32 psi I feel road imperfections and get good MPG
At 27 psi I feel like I'm in a caddy and get 3 mpg worse.
I ride at 32
