Suspension for RWD

Suspension for RWD
There is so much info and help for y'all 4x4 guys out there, but the options and advice on the RWD is a bit more limited, so I figured I would poll the group and see what I can find. Currently running a 96 SRW F350 (obviously its RWD), and I am looking to do a bit of suspension work for the ride quality. My plan is to replace all the shocks with Bilstein's (fairly common) and while I am at it, level the truck. Now I know typically the easy way is to just get 2 in. spacers and call it a day, but I figured if I am putting in the work, I might as well go the extra step. So, I am looking to do a coil leveling kit instead of a spacer, to get a little better ride quality.
With all that being said, I cannot for the life of me find a decent coil set or even suggestions as to what other's have done to their trucks. Any assistance or guidence would be greatly appreciated!

I think @z31freakify has his leveled.
Dually has Moog progressive rate coils and Bil HDs. Rides nice for TTB. New coils are going to lift you anyway.

@Hit Man X I was checking out the MOOG, since they seem to be heavily suggested and reliable. When you replaced them, how big would you say the lift was?
Honestly for how I use the truck, leveling may do more bad than good.

Mine has a 2" coil spacer and I'll tell you don't do it, caster and camber can't be adjusted even with an adjustable ball joints sleeve, I couldn't get camber or caster close enough to spec.
and there is Zero aftermarket support for 2wd for our era truck. Removing metal from the I beam wasn't an option for me, as I occasionally over load the truck and don't want a catastrophic failure when hauling/towing heavy.
