I ran the tallest Superlift on my 85 truck with a drop drag link and it ran just fine. No sway at required. You just need to extend the rod between the front axle and frame mount to keep the front axle from moving and messing with your steering.

I wouldn't change anything with the springs for the winch, it isn't that big of a difference. Rancho shocks work great. Adjustability is very user friendly.

32 inch tires are the limit for stock gears in my experience. Get rubber brake lines instead of steel braided. The rubber is more durable. Skip the bling.
