Well I want to see if I can run them with my front set up. I have just over 3" in the front. I am thinking that the 4" will settle to 3.5 and that sounds good to me. but I am not sure. I don't mind the slight raked look.

I would go OME but I don't want to add the isolators, I want all coil.

Have you considered using the OME CRD coils for the front? A few have already done it with great success.

what would you gain on a v6 sport, with CRD springs? assuming there are no heavy bumpers, or skids or anything.

No bumper? No winch? Then I wouldn’t do it………….. The OME HD’s for the gasoline engine is enough lift for someone who isn’t going to run a bumper or winch. It's not that the springs are that much taller as much as it has to do with the spring rate. You'd feel like your riding on a hay wagon.
