Well first off welcome aboard and good luck on getting your new TOY.

For the suspenion I'd say go with All Pro or AOR. They both make good springs that flex. Haven't heard anything bad about either one of them.

All Pro (www.allprooffroad.com/suspension.htm) will be the cheapest of the two.

AOR (www.aor4x4.com/catalog.htm) makes the whatever size lift you want from 0"-6" and costumize the springs to evey application.

OR if you want to go a little cheaper you can do a Chevy spring swap. The only drawback with these is that in order to get a to a 5" or 6" lift height out of them you need to use long shackles or lift blocks. They do work well though. Here's a link on how it's done. mkelly.proboards22.com/index.cgi?board=FAQ&action=display&thread=1068491953
Here's some pics of my rig after doing it. I also used 4" blocks and currently have 4 1/5" Rubicon Express front springs.

The first one was testing the flex just after doing the lift (with 32" tires). I did originally use 4" Pro Comp front springs but as you can see in the second pic (with 35" tires) they are too stiff. You could use All Pro or AOR front springs with this mod.
