why hasn't anyone suggested the cheapest mod of all for rough roads, drop tyre pressure to 26-28psi.  use the side wall to complement the coil and shock.
IME the off the shelf lift kits use a firmer rate coil to achieve lift.  the manufacturers do that so the coil free length suit factory shocks.  for rough roads i'd opt for a softer coil with a shock with adjustable compression and rebound to fine tune.  
if you don't need the lift, leave it as is.  too many people fit lifted coils because their mate did.  i was and still am guilty of that, but my truck is well past normal.  Qualifies me to preach with an empty wallet and wisdom of hindsight.
