Default Custom coilover rear suspension for late model Silverado/Sierra?

Hi all, first post. My cousin sent me over here and said that you guys would have some good ideas for what i'm trying to do.

I have a 2001 GMC Sierra currently lowered about 5/7. I'm tired of the lousy ride and would like to convert my suspension over to coil overs on all four corners. Right now it's the stock torsion bar setup in the front and leafs in the rear with lowering components. I do have a setup in mine for the front Click here to see the kit I am using

My goal pretty much is to make the truck handle like it's on rails. I want it to feel planted to the ground and to be predictable. I won't be racing the truck, it is just a fun weekend driver.

I'm not an expert in suspension, just in research mode..I've been looking at 4 bar and 4 link setups for the rear but open to ideas!


and here's a picture of said truck
