I love it when people say they want a smooth riding lift. It's like asking for a tattoo that doesn't hurt!

Don't kid yourself about the ride quality, it takes the same spring rate to hold up that truck whether it is coil or leaf. Drive a lifted '05 or newer and see for yourself. For that matter, if you're willing to drop all that cash for the coil conversion, take that money and trade your 2001 for an '05 or newer with a lift.
If it's ride quality you're after, buy some 3" hangers from Pro-Comp or Top Gun Customz with new replacement leafs up front and a matching block out back. This maintains the orginal ride. Make sure you stay away from nitrogen charged shocks, they work great off road, but are stiff on road. I personally like the stiff ride of my truck MUCH better than the spongy ride it had when I bought it.
