what options do i have to lift rear 5 inches

Im preparing to do a sas with 6 inch springs in front and want to see what you guys have done to lift rear 5 inches. My options are....

1. 63 inch chevy leafs. Dont see how i can run that with my oem tow package on there. It looks as if the extra flex i will be getting will run the rear shackle right in to the tow package.

2. toyota 3 inch leafs $200 a pair with a 2 inch block. how well do those arched springs flex compared to my current flat toyota rear springs. I dont really want to loose any amount of rear flex. Can someone fill me in on wether or not its any diference. Rite now i can drop the top of my 33 inch tire about 2 inch below my rockers and am very happy with that.

3. custom all together but i know the flatter the more flex. let me know what you guys think or what your running. Thanks very much

if you're worried about the trailer hitch, get a marlin rear bumper
