I'd have to know just what you have to answer best. But yeah,longer springs and sliders is the best way for staying with leaf springs.

I probably shouldnt be wasting your time because it looks like there is plenty of knowledge giving good advise, but you might also look into Deaver leaf springs they can make you custom springs for what you want. In desert racing if you cant afford to link your truck you run deavers.

Best smothers ride system is to 4linck it and put in some KN nitro shocks you can hit a speed bump doing 60 and not feel a thing just could be really costly or try sky maker springs or call nationally springs and they can make a soft ride spring
