Regardless of the soft ride springs, it will not make the ride better. Once you start going up higher, the ride gets bouncier. Billsteins will help

great

I have newer Bilsteins on her now with stock springs. Good ride but still kind of stiff.

I spoke with a shock pro about using them with this lift, he stated they are mono shocks for my application with a 3-4" lift, designed for performance i.e. stiff

For more comfort he recommended Ranch 5000's.

Negative on the Raunchos....they are no more than Gas Magnums (Monroe) with a white paint job and a red boot, and they ride rougher than Bilstiens by far. 

I just took the free Rauncho's off my truck that the Monroe rep gave me in favor of Bilstiens.....it's a shame the Bilstiens weren't free as well, but that was money well spent.
