Just curious as to why no Lorenz?

Being you signature shows "dang near Mexico, CA" why don't you drive your truck to KORE and let them evaluate the situation. While I don't try to evaluate any lift/leveling kit in a positive light, I must say that the trucks I've driven with the KORE leveling kits utilizing their springs and shocks have had a dang nice ride. That and a few customer of mine have been very pleased with the results.

I have the Carli springs and absolutely love them. I didn't think it was my truck when I drove it away from the shop. Best $ I have spent on my truck.

That's a fairly major exception, 1¼" difference left to right seems more than a little extreme and maybe enough reason not to choose Kore, especially if they're deflecting blame? I've heard their customer service is a little lacking unlike Thuren or Carli who readily respond to phone calls and/or emails. Kore also inflates their shipping charges.

As for spacer vs. coils: I had RevTec 2" spacers for a year, never had a problem, no DW, no wandering, no issues at all. I just recently upgraded to 3" Thuren soft ride coils, the front is way nicer now, seems to soak up a lotta bumps, really make you realize how stiff the rear is though.
Thuren's coils are $290, Carlis are 440.
I think it depends how much you can afford to spend and what kinda ride you want. When I first leveled it I did the shocks and tires and H2's at the same time so didn't wanna spend the extra money on the coils at the same time.

The alignment will help those new tires wear nicely. Otherwise in a few months you would have a crappy set of uneven treads lol
Just to echo... ALIGNMENT IS NECESSARY... I got lazy and didn't align for a couple months... still could have pulled another 10k off those tires if I had
