I just ordered my entire suspension lift kit from RockAuto for about $600 shipped. This is cheaper than Amazon. This included the quicklift coil over struts, rs9000xl adjustable rear shocks, stiffer rear springs and the rear spring spacer. And Rancho currently has a $120 rebate for buying the struts and springs. Don't forget to use the code MMAIL6 where is says "where did you hear about us" for a 5% discount too.
The rear springs are actually for an Armada, but they are rated for 100 lbs more per side. They're the same diameter and essentially the same height. I'll include photos once everything comes. My current rear springs are shot, like 1/4" from the bump stops shot.
How do I include photos?

Yes! It worked. Thanks Flickr.
This is a photo of my truck resting on a jack stand placed under the rear spring and all 3 other wheels on the ground. There's no extra weight in the truck and I have about 3/4 tank of fuel. Plus the center seat has been removed. My suspension is basically just that rubber stop! No wonder it rides so rough.

Here's the list of struts, springs, shocks and spacers I got. For some reason it's showing shipping from 4 warehouses instead of 2 as when I purchased them. The quicklift coil overs and shocks are $50 less than on Amazon.

Just ordered the springs. Already have the spacers.
Here are the specs for both the acDelco springs. The Ramada ones are also half the price.
The pathfinder springs are weaker but slightly longer where as the armada springs are longer when compressed and rated for a heavier load. I would think that the armada springs would offer very very slight lift but would definitely be better off road and carrying a load or towing.
They were taken off the off rockauto.com the armada springs are the same talked about on this thread

Thupertrooper is correct. I thought these shocks would be made for extended travel. It says in their description for use with 0 to 1 3/4" of lift, but they are the same length as the stock shocks. They are the limiting factor for downward travel. I may have to put a limiting strap through the coil buckets just for a little peace of mind. They aren't fully extended when sitting on the ground at least.
