Any spring worth having is going to sag under heavy load. You might want to consider air bags in what ever rear spring you get. AIR LIFT 1000 Air Springs

its more the price for the trailmaster kit. Any kit this high will need new drive lines so that adds extra cost. this kit includes it all
Seems that Full traction lift kits are of the higher quality. or the Fabtech kits <--- i wish!!

No neither kit has adjustable arms or trackbars thats not something i want..more moving parts mean more things that can brake or go wrong.

Adjustable arms will make it drive properly at that height. If you have a 4 door, 6 speed. You should be able to get away with out driveshafts for now.

i will probably end up with the full traction lift possibly with airbags in the back
these aftermarket coils must be made stronger than the stock ones right? i mean they must know people are going to add steal bumpers and be carrying heavier than normal loads

my coils are 3 years old with a 35 and now a 37's mounted for that long, they have never moved 
with a 2 door, your right new drivelines and adjustable arm(s) needed

If you have a 2 door, I'd say get the FT kit you're looking at, but ask them if they can send it with the rear springs for a 4-dr. They are rated for a heavier load, and may give you that little bit of oomph that you need in the rear to make things right for you!

Teraflex 3" Full flex arm kit will clear your 35's plenty.... its a great kit for both on and off road, and if you find that the spring rate is not what you want for all the rear load weight you want, then get some air assist bags for the rear and call it good... nice thing about this setup is that you have total control of everything. you put a "stiffer" spring in and the weight isnt there it will ride like crap. JMO good luck

I would go AEV 4.5" just because they are using a progressive spring so that when you are carrying loads it doesn't sag and bottom out, while at the same time providing a soft ride on the highway.
