Thoughts on my lift plans for steel bumper

Hey guys, I'm about to order a lift, I just wanted your thoughts real quick before I pull the trigger. So I have a steel bumper and winch going on which will add over 250lbs in the front. I'm running 265/75/16s on stock OR wheels. I would like as much lift as is reasonable and functional (not cranking down preload all the way). This is what I'm planning to order:

Icon 2.5 with res and 700lb coils.

Total chaos uni-ball UCAs

Dakar leaf packs, removing overload, possibly even overload+middle

Icon 2.0 standard travel with res

My question is, with all the weight in the front, even with the 700lb springs I don't think I will get more than an inch and a half, maybe closer to an inch over stock.

So am I correct in thinking theres no need for the extended travel rear shock? I am only trying to achieve no more than 2" in the rear, since I will get less than that in front. I like the factory rake, but I'm OK with adding another inch of rake. Not more than that preferably.

With the standard travel, I won't need to change brake lines or install bump stops either which is nice.

Thanks for any input, it is appreciated.

 

I thought the Dakar leafs where complete replacement?? That and they recommend long travel shocks??

Interesting they don't say to use the FK29 for the 3rd gen.. not sure why, anyone?

These OME Dakar Springs part # CS047R provide approximately 2.75″ lift. Leafs can be added or removed to custom tune them to your application if desired. Other parts that are recommended with these are our bushing set, longer u-bolt set, FK29 driveline carrier drop (for 05-15 models) kit and rear shocks. Sold as a pair."
