The Ranchos use the shock valving from a 9000x shock, which allows adjustable rebound/compression/etc with a 9 setting dial. Alternatively, you can have an in-cab adjuster for on the fly changes. I can't comment on ride stiffness because I don't know the spring loading/rebound that Rancho will be using, but with the adjustable shock, you should be able to dial in a comfortable setting. My near-term plans are to wait and see the pricing on these coil-overs and also see if someone like Fabtech comes out with lift spindles. I'd rather have lift spindles, as it wouldn't decrease the downward cycle of the suspension. But if you have a 4wd, you'll have to go with coil-overs, spring spacers, or a full on diff drop type of lift.
See attachment for further info on the Ranchos.

I agree--the lift spindles seem to be the way to go, for 2WD. After a little research, I learned that lift spindles do not modify the factory suspension components, brakes or anything else
For those who are curious, here is a link to a bunch of lift spindles (none for the Titan yet, unfortunately
)
