Suspension set up question

Did a search and found some answers here and there but looking for experience/recommendation on best stock styled suspension...ie no coilover, 3 or 4 link. Want aprox 6" lift to use 35/37 tires. This Jimmy will see 60% street, 35% desert, 5% slow speed stuff. Best springs, shocks, shock towers(stock? f250? hoops?), rear spring setup? full springs? 4" springs with shackle flip? Thanx

Re: Suspension set up question

Alot of guys like the custom made spring packs. I have been runnig "off the shelf" pacs for years and they have worked well. Superlift "super ride" 5.5" rear and old Rancho 4" up front. I have a 3" body lift too...

The spring pacs that have alot of thin leafs will ride smoother than a spring pac with few leafs that are thicker = stiffer
