I have to replace an airbag on the rear so already be in there. My offroading consists of my first ever trip to Moab and Medano pass in CO. Regularly offroad in winter but typically snow on a frozen lake. Will be staying stock tire size for the foreseeable future. Don't have another car so this is a do everything. FYI - I'm fine with factory rake, don't care about leveling for just appearances sake.
Appreciate any help!

I only tow a tiny lightweight cargo trailer but I can address the top of the question if not the detail:
1. New rear springs--definitely.
2. Overall lift like 1.5/1 is great. You can choose various rates in the rear like Bilstein is stock rate, but you probably want more, so Eibach is 204 while Dobs has like 220lb options--and then beyond.
Now the tough part:
3. The best thing would be to get a rear shock with maximum adjustability such as the Dobs MRA with adjusters.
I personally was on the brink on going that route (6112 + Dobs MRA rear).
That way you can use a softer rear spring and stiffen the rear via the adjustments as needed.
