On the rear you could use a shackle-flip, either 4" or 6". I'd go 4" and the rest spring. Both methods front and rear will net the best possible ride with so much lift as well.
+1 Good advice. I was gonna say that they definitely make front springs bigger than 6" but you beat me to it. Good advice on the shackle flip as well!
