Default Best steering set up ?

I am gettin ready to deploy to Iraq and I am making a wish list of sorts. What is the best steering set up for say a 5.5" lift? Opinions would be great.

If I knew I could do it without to much trouble the WJ Crossover conversion would be the way I'd go. Requires some mod work and may be a bit to much for me atm.
