Need some input. Leaning towards EMU or Bilstiens. Anyone have experience with them?

Is that what you are running Dava? Are they easy to adjust?

thanks for the input... just to clarify... a 4" lift would require about 15"-15.5" / 23" eye/stud sizing?

I'll second the 9000 series.  I had 9012's (which at that point, were the longest travel by Rancho) in my Toyota for 6 years.  1 for wheeling, 3 for street and 4-5 with full camping gear.

ive run  OME and PRO comp 3000 and Rancho 9000's on my heep

pro comps seemed stiff but still tolerable.
OME pushed my jeep around,  a little stiff
then i settled on rancho 9000's which i thought were by far the best because you can adjust it
after the rear ranchos have leaked...
ive gone back to a set of OME whish are now fine with the extra weight of the bumpers and winch and rock rails etc...

btw   i think Cablesmurf has a set for cheap that will work for you
