I know I'll want bigger, but thanks to my back i wont be able to go much bigger than where it is now. i figure with a 1 to 2 inch lift and 30's or 31's it should pick it up about 3 to 4 inches over factory. plus fixing the sagging suspension will lift it a little as well.

Yah josh sold me coil spacers, and LCA's. I went out and bought new teraflex shackles and jks discos. Waiting for my trackbar. The springs seem fine. Sitting 24 inches from center of hub, to bottom of fender flare stock mounting point. I don't thiiiink I'll need new coils. Shocks are definetly fine.
