Default best leaf springs??

Well I did some searching and can't come up with anything good enough to make my decision. So here it goes......

I have the 6.5 inch long arm from iron rock, but it was the upgrade which started as a 4.5 inch RC lift. My rear is sagging when it's completely empty and can't put anything in it with out it squatting down pretty good. It's a problem since I love taking my dogs for rides and they are a 75 and 90 pound pitbulls.

But my real question is what leaf springs are best? But what one gives a good ride.
Also should I maybe do like a 5.5 inch IRO and shackles or just go 6.5 from rustys and wait then shackles maybe. I do plan on a tire carrier bumper with a 33 maybe 35 one day.......

So what's everyone opinion with that size lift? What company?

Thanks alot guys and gals, any words of wisdom is much appreciated

Well I have looked at pretty much all of them and did price comparison and don't care about paying more for some of better quality. Just wanna know what people think in the taller lifts
