I'm using the DIY4X b52 kit, a newish set of 52" rear springs with the bottom thick leaf off, and 6" shackles up front. The rear is a used set of 56" springs, 6" shackles, and ORD shackle flip kit mounted 4" to the rear of the stock position.
You look to be working in a tight space! I would love to see a bunch of pics if you documented everything you did. Going to be nice!
