The HD coils are a higher spring rate. Designed to compensate for an aftermarket bumper and winch. If you are going to install that much extra weight in the front, it's not a bad idea. I have those coils and they are pretty good.
I would also check Serious Offroad, he has great prices on RE coils if you want to go another route.

Thanks dude! I'll Prolly go with a higher spring rate ones so they don't sag later on if I get a bumper. I'm looking for some cheap 3 inch lift coils that's it haha. Those were the only ones I could find lol

Basically, anything heavier than the stock bumper is going to require the higher spring rate or the front is going to sag.

I have the HD springs and like them. I do not have a offroad bumper or winch yet but the spring ride great. i don't notice a difference from stock realy.
