OME Shocks

I want to get new front coilovers but ones from king and icon are too pricey. I was wondering if any one had any old man emu coilovers up front. How do they ride on/off road. I like to take my truck offroading but with the stock suspension its a chore cause i have to go so damn slow. What coil weight is ideal for my 1998 4x4 3.4L. If i did get new coils i want to get the struts too. I am hoping to add a front bumper sometime down the road. I am looking for an all around well working front set up. I am only looking to lift the front 1" or maybe 1.5" to level it out with my new deavers.
Any input appreciated..

 

Probably can go with OME 882 coils with OME N91s shocks...
