I would suggest you get a shackle flip kit from DIY4X, get your lift from the flip kit and a smaller set of lift springs. Put the flip kit on first get your front lifted, then see how much of a lift you need in the rear to level it out.

re-arching springs is not going to get you 5-6" of lift, maybe 1 or 2. more than that the length of the spring would become too short.
