I went ahead and installed the Automotive Customizers' "Deluxe" Kit, with the replacement front coils, replacement front shocks, positive arch add-a-leaf and replacement rear shocks. I also installed the replacement cam bolts. The ride is just a little bit firmer, with an occasional "crash" over abrupt potholes on and off road. There is no contact with the coil buckets with this modification. I installed a set of Cooper Discoverer S/Ts, 255/85R-16, at the same time. It's a relatively tall/skinny tire, 33.2" OD. This tire required removing the front plastic air dam and the remaining plastic front mudflap. I also had to trim the plastic attachment points for the air dam. Now the tires stay clear, even with the front suspension fully stuffed in a wheelwell. Overall, I'm quite pleased with the changes. Beats dragging the aftermarket skid plates on almost every rutted tw-track in the desert.
