Ok. Thanks. I think I may go with a 1" or maybe a ½ inch body lift and a 2" shackle lift and a torsion twist. I'm considering adding two extra leaf springs to strengthen the back. How does that sound? 265/ 70/ 16. Plus 305/ 40/ 22. I already have the 16" and 22" wheals and tyres but need fresh tyres for both. I will incorporate a grease nipples on the leaf spring eye bolts. Hoping to find a way to incorporate grease nipples for the bottom and top arms where the bushings goes and squeak. What am I missing? What have I forgotten?

Add-a-leaf and/or air bags for the rear.
