Upgrading Suspension and Axles

I am interested in a new suspension for the truck ('94 in sig). I would like to net about 2-3" of lift, so I could run 35" tires. I also don't want the truck to sag in the rear when it gets loaded, as it is primarily a tow rig with some off road use. So I was looking at the Kelderman 3" lift kit, but the pictures on the web site look like the rear 4 link hangs down way to low under the truck, kinda defeats the purpose of lift if I can't net more ground clearance. I also really like the KORE kits available, but without air I'm afraid that I will squat in the rear when I get a trailer hooked up. Anyone have experience with either of these, or have any other sugestions.

The other thing I want to do is to swap my Dana 70 for an 80 out of an '01. Can this be done without too much trouble? Once this is done I would also like to put lockers on it front and rear I will already have on board air so would be looking primarily at air lockers, but am open to suggestions here as well. Thanks in advance.

I am not sure whether to do this or not, was just going off the bigger is better theory. And I have access to one if I would want it.

I just had Carli mount up some hydro bumps on the front of mine and will be going back for the rear bumps soon,when I am finished getting the 05 to ride the way I want,it will be on to the 94......
Carli is also working on a long travel air bag set up for those that want a good empty ride and still be able to throw that big old camper on.
