My thoughts are to go with the Red/blue Bilsteins (5100 series-I think) and then go with either the TRD of road springs or Wheelers version of the same thing(although Wheelers has a larger wire diameter, which should translate to higher spring rate).
Don, I would go with the TRD off road front coils from a V8 4WD truck, HD Bilsteins (basically the same as red and blue just le$$) and custom Alcan rear leaf springs to finish what you have started.

The ride will be smooth, level and controlled.

Others will chime in.

Good luck.
