Definitely don't cheap out on leaf springs, well worth the investment in good leaf springs. As mentioned OME, or another excellent leaf spring is Rubicon Express.

Whatever you, do dont get Rough Country leafs. Get 3.5in leafs from a reputable company and a longer shackle. Taller leafs with more arch are stiffer and make for a worse ride. Having leafs with less of an arch and a bit of a longer shackle helps soften the ride and improves flex greatly.
