i highly recommend spax although they are known as being a little harder than apex from what i have been told. as said above dampers are ideal

heres mine on 40mm spax with rear adjusted to match

gmc springs are very nice at 160lbs, or you could get some faulkners or custom faulkners which are easily one of the best on the market
