as for armor...... i think most people consider armor as bumpers and sliders. sliders are a must on a trail rig but.... if you plan a body lift do that 1st as you will be cutting them off and raising them up if you do. as you said..... dont waste the $$ on ifs skidplates, but the bumpers and sliders will work with the SAS also

As for flex you can find softer (thinner) second/third leafs and replace them in your pack... If they are longer than the ones they replace, you can shorten them...

Cant find the article right now, but it was something like xj budget boost.... It'll give you an idea to play with....
