EZrides have about the softest spring rate.
www.offroaddesign.com is your K5 4x4 buddy. He know K5's and drives one. Stephen will not steer you wrong.

Get the Steering brace as well and either ditch the sway or get the Sway correction/ disconnect kit. It will get rid of bump steer that the sway will cause with a lift.

Ohh to clear the floor with 35's you need the Zero rates as well to move the front axle forward on inch and you need a 1 inch body lift. That will clear 35's no scrub with BFG KM 35x12.5 on a 15x10 rim
