    Depends on your budget and whether or not you want the adjustability that comes with C/O's.

    No reason to put coilovers on a stock ifs truck unless you like watching money burn or feel like you have to look cool for TW. Go OME or bilstein struts and call it good. Your ball joints only cycle about 7 inches of travel so you aren't running any real high speed that will warrant c/o's.

    C/O's also require maintenance and will corrode if you live in the salt belt. Struts you just put on and forget

    I'd use Bilstein shocks and OME coils.
