our gen doesnt have coil overs we have a coil and a shock 2 separate things. 04 up has the coilover strut all one assembly. you can add spacers to the coil to make it level.

you can do a coilover conversion but it wont be cheap, and if your have 4x4 it will remove the torsion bars

Say someone did that, would it be better than our set up now? Or would it be the same?

usally that set up is for perfromance (desert racing, etc), or a solid axle swap, so its usally expensive to do it. i have a coilover conversion and it handle awesome, but since it is a performance suspension it is wider
heres a link to my build thread it has pics of a coilover setup
