Looks like a nice kit. Up at the top of the first page of this forum is a sticky for 2nd gen runner lift information. Take a look at that thread before you buy so that if anyone else has this lift you'll be able to read about the good/bad/ugly before you spend the money.
I don't know anything about coiled rigs but to me that kit looks ok for your rig.

cool. 
and here's what I meant about the bumpstop extensions looking 'weak':
this is the procomp bracket-
notice the bumpstop spacer is part of the bracket (it actually bolts to the OEM bump stop mount), not some rectangular tubing to take up the space. I believe the installation directions tell you to put the open part of the spacer parallel to the front axle... if I'm not mistaken. But even then, the tubing will bow outwards.
and please don't think I'm trying to denegrate your choice. I'm sure it will run well for you.

if the opening is oriented front-back, considering the suspension, or rather where the suspension contacts the stop, moves slightly to the side as it compresses, it could cause the extension to go \\ or //, whereas if the opening is oriented left-right, the sides would ( ) or ) ( which would take a bit more force to do.
catch my meaning?

next part will piss you off...
I paid 400 for all of it, off of craigslist (even got a set of knuckles, ball joints, tie rods, relay rod, etc) from a guy doing an SAS swap.

hey, didn't mean to make you feel bad. you have a good kit that'll likely last you a long while.
if it makes you feel better, I got blocks for the rear lift with the kit and had to buy new leaf springs since mine were already worn to the point of not doing anything (about 1" between the spring and the stop in the rear).
