    I am looking for both front and rear suspension that can handle more payload but still perform well and add a 4-6 inch lift. If this is not possible, one that isn’t heavy duty will work. Please let me know if there is anything for this situation. I am building an overlander and just want to be able to put more in the truckbed.

    4-6” will usually require a drop bracket lift. May want to stick with 2-3”. That way you don’t have to cut your frame up.

    King, fox and Elka are good premium shocks paired with a deaver leaf pack and camburg UCA’s.

    if you want to be a little more budget friendly Bilstein 6112/5160 combo with a AAL would be a nice option paired with a spc UCA.

    I don't think that exists. You will be sacrificing reliability going that much of a lift.

    I was able to carry more weight with just a rear add a leaf. Icon 1.5" / 3 spring.
    I installed OME on 2nd gen and it's plenty heavy duty but not 4" lift, maybe 3.5" with larger tires.
    You'll get all kinds of suggestions here.
    Lately I've seen a vendor @AccuTune Offroad
    Offer good advice, and I may look to them in the near future for suspension want on my 2017.
