Have decided I definitely need airbags, and the Air Lift kit looks pretty decent. Maybe a proper on-board compressor would be worth it, to air up and down.
Do I just need to buy Old Man Emu springs? They have a rainbow of sizes and applications, I just got the feeling from the price and what I've heard that they were a cheaper and less robust part.
Talk to me about sway bars? I was hoping the Panhard correction bracket would take care of the rear end, and if I kept the front lift at 1" my OEM bar and new end links would be alright.
Using 265/75/16s at the moment. Cool it on the e-brake turns man! Turns out most potential partners actually aren't impressed by that. I checked.
Obviously there is an alignment in my future.

I want to say Dobinson's makes a variable rate coil. I can't remember if toytec does or not either.
From OME, I think they do make one variable rate coil, but I cannot remember which model it is. Might have to look at the OME catalog. Hopefully someone else can chime in on that.
The Panhard relocation is going to have the most profound effect on body roll, if it needs it. If you don't lift it very much, you won't notice it though. When I ran 2906 springs in the rear, it was not needed at all. When I stepped up to 2890 rear springs, it needed the pck badly. Body roll for days without it.
The more I think about it, maybe you do everything else first lift wise/and or air bag wise before you do the panhard change. You may not even need to change the panhard if you have a low lift. You may not even have to do anything with a swaybars either.
I've known my wife since 2007. She's completely aware of my shenanigans.....lol the kids do giggle with the E brake turns though.....
I really liked the 2906 Springs. I went bigger, simply for load carrying capacity when I go off roading as I had alot of sag with 5 people and gear. But if you don't lift very much, it might be a good spring, especially with airbags. There could be a better spring out there for you though. Someone more knowledgeable on that may have a better answer.
