Default Leave Autospring or replace with Bilsteins

I currently have a 2" autospring on my truck and am just wondering if there any advantages to replacing it with the Bilstein 5100's?

I also am looking at adding some exaust. I have an edge evo installed. I am not looking for anything loud, but would like to have a little grumble. Any suggestions on both topic would be appreciated.

I think the flowmaster 40's sound awesome on the 5.4 there quiet when you want them to be and loud when you stomp on it!

Bump for the autospring vs bilstein debate... I have Christmas shopping to do... ...for myself!!

Oh and... difficulty of install not an issue... Think you need a spring compressor either way...

Edit: I do see it doesn't really change the stress of the ball joints and such with the bilstein leveling shocks... Guess it comes down to how warm my shocks are at 85K miles...
