Landcruiser VX 80 Series Spring and Body Lift to fit 35's

Hi,
Looking for opinions on the best combination of spring and body lift to fit 35" tyres. Recommendations on spring rate and length. Will then select the shocks suit after putting it on the ramp to see what travel reqired.
Want to have good articulation and comfortable ride, mainly to be used for family type off road, not full on hard yaka. Will need to be able to carry a bit of extra load in the back.
For max artic will make some sway bar disconects.

Have seen some comments on Chambilian springs being good, where do I find out some more info on these

Thanks
Tim

ive got old man emu springs and nitro shocks , 863 springs in the rear with 850`s in the front,with caster correction bushes in the front running 315/75/16 (pretty close to 35`s) no body lift required,transformed from a wallowing pig into a 3 ton wrx(in handling anyways!!),any higher and you run into problems with driveshaft angles and bad vibes,did a lot of research before i went with what i got.dont expect your cruiser to be either grunty or good on fuel with 35`s,also speedo will read a lot slower.my rear springs jack my back up slightly but if i load it up, it sits nice and even,the handling over a standard 80 is improved tenfold :wink:
