The first set-up I ran was 7 in. super-lift springs with a drop drag-link. But I fliped the ball on the end of the j-arm. no problems, never broke 1.5 years and many trips.
oh yeah, I had those springs one time, they kick ass.....NOT! I hated them, they rode like ass and I had no flex....the only reason I ran they was b/c they came on an axle I bought.
