I redid the suspension in my lux about 1 month ago
Sat too high at first, but now has settle to a perfect hieght i rekon

i used:
EFS 3 inch heavy duty leaves
Superior extended shakles
Rancho RS5000
extended brakelines
dropped deaglink ( i got a shorter one and moved the diff forward 35mm at the same time)
adjustable torque bar

Also extended the front drive shaft.

this setup works well for me. front flexes pretty well and rear is still hard to carry weight for work.

Probably will need new front tailshaft. The double cardonal binds, and the spline runs out of travel on my fathers lux with 2" lift at full droop of the suspension. Got a custom tailshaft coming for it, costing around $700.
Wheeling on completely wicked angles, without even looking stable.

just get a front shaft spacer, to bring the slip joint back to where it would be stock.
