Suspension Questions for my '71 K5..

Greetings all,

Looking for best overall set up for my rig. I drive 90% on road. Off road consisting of trails, desert, shallow mud, no real rock crawling. Nothing too extreme, for the moment anyway. I'm running MTZ's 33 x 12.5 x 15. The lift now is an oldschool set up giving about a 2-3" lift. I'd like to go no more than 4". That said. What might be the best set up for me to go.

1. Shocks (Best brand/size)?
2. Front (Springs/Brand)?
3. Rear (Springs/Brand or might a shackle flip be a better option?)
4. Body mounts (There are a few out there what works best?)
5. Front end (Any tips on steering stabilizers and I need to replace worn out ball joints, tie rod ends, etc. just seeking the best parts to do a full rebuild)

Not seeking a budget lift and rebuild. Just like to do it right and have my rig sit level as well.

Sorry if I have posted a lot but help would be greatly appreciated.
