I've been running 4.5" ZJ coils with Bilsteins valved 255/70-iirc.
It's a good all around combo, but a little soft. I'd like to eliminate
some of the nose-dive under braking(I have the anti-sway bar attached).
Do you think firmer shock valving alone would help the problem?
Or should I look for firmer coils and shocks or some combination of
the two?

Several years ago.... I had similar problems with my '98 and I decided to have the Bilstein 5100's revalved....
The front shocks were revalved for mild desert driving.... so that I wouldnt get that front to back oscillation when going thru the wash board roads...
The results were quite dramatic..., but I am not sure of what the valving is.... and probably would have gone with more downward dampening....

255 is what my rear 5150's are I think. Definitely too lite for the front.

I have the 5100 front & rear. IIRC...The rear is the softer valving with the Nationals. And the front the firmer. Again, IIRC. (my mind & #'s) Works well even when the swaybar is disco'd. Plus it has the stem on top instead of the eye for more travel. You can slap them on & try if you want. Or drive mine...Or both.
