The OME HD springs will put you up too high and you'll have to cut some of the spring off.
How soon are you looking to lift? Are you doing the work yourself or are you at the whim of a shop for r&r?
The good thing about coilovers is you can tweak the ride height exactly where you want them. You may want to try contacting KING, they recently made coilovers for the Nitro WK build. Last time I talked to them they were $1700 for custom length (they'd just need to know how long to make them).
You'll definitely want JBA control arms up front. For the rear you can get 6" springs or add a spacer to the superlift springs. You'll also need adjustable UCAs (at a minimum) to help correct the pinion angle.

Ok that makes sense, I anticipate lifting before winter. I'd like to find a reputable shop to install the actual Superlift portion and then any remaining parts I think I could install myself. What else would I want for suspension or steering upgrades along with the JBA control arms?

Based on that, if the 5100 struts are available in time I'd have the shop install them on their lowest setting with stock springs (leave out the superift coilspring preload spacer) and JBA UCA's. Let things settle and build off of that. For the front there isn't much more you'll need to do except add lift via different springs or moving the 5100 spring perch. For the rear you can add lift via new coils or add spacers, you'll want adjustable upper arms, better shocks and MAYBE an adjustable track bar (once the superlift is on you can measure to see if you'll need a track bar for 6" or not... some need it, some dont)
