If you buy DB's you can run the stock upper and lower arms.... I did it on one of my rigs... and it flexed well. My only advice would be to box you upper and lower arms by welding some plate to them.
If you are going to run DB's get an adj trac bar though.

This is my rig before we truggied it on RE db's with stock upper and lower arms, with a 2" chevy drop shackle in the rear, as well as SOA. The front was Rusty's 6.5 coils with RE hd trac bar mount and brace. All of these parts were bought used
Here is a pic of the flex it gave me... This pic was Taken at Tellico
