The shop I was working with got all the work done on Thursday. The planning took me nearly 3 years and the work took 4 full days at the shop. All I can say is WOW. The lift is the 6" Full Traction long arm kit with a 4-link in the front and a 3-link in the back. Wheels are 15x8, 4.25" BS Unique 252s with 35x12.5 Goodyear MTRs (stock were close to 31") and Rancho RS9000X 9-way adjustable shocks. It needed a complete exhaust reroute and a new custom rear CV driveshaft.
I wouldn't have believed it but other than the obviously higher center of gravity and diminished ability to corner at high speeds, this thing actually rides and feels better than factory!!! Turning radius is about the same. On the freeway it rides very smooth and there is almost no bump- or break-steer. The 4.10 gears in the axles are going to be upgraded next when I can save up the money again because it really starts to bog down in 5th gear but 1st gear is much more usable than before. For now, I am very happy with the outcome though haven't had a chance to really wheel it other than the pics below.
