I would keep it simple and put a good set of flexy leaf springs under it. While your at it i would also move both axles out alittle for a longer wheelbase and better stability.

i was thinking about doing a 3.5" waggy lift stay SUA with shackle reversal which will give me about 4" total stretch and what do you think about the johnny joint?

the johnny joints are pricey, but decent. What would you use them for? Could you use chrome moly heims instead?
