Should ride pretty good. The one thing you need to worry about when going with a full coilover system for your Daily is to make sure its not too stiff.

There's no such thing as "too stiff"... that's like saying there's such thing as "too many lateral g's."

wait, i thik skunk2s full race springs are for full drag race. if so, you DONT want those, they are around 1000lbs in the rear. you might as well weld your struts solid. ride will be about the same. and if you have any fillings, they will be rattled out.

He wanted something for daily driving so there IS such thing as too stiff.


Now you could go with some Tein SS's with the EDFC (electronic dampening force controller) and control your dampening force on the fly for multiple conditions...only problem with them is that they'll run you at least $1100 (800 without the EDFC).
