SOA Spring Suggestions?

Well, with almost no abuse I already bent a front YJ spring and both my front and rear wrap terribly. So I am considering other springs and looking for some good suggestions.

I have accumulated the parts to do a anti-wrap bar on the rear, but was considering different springs before I fab it up. Currently I am running Stock YJ springs with an added main leaf with the eyes cut off. It flexes great but I don't think it will last at all for offroad abuse. I would prefer not to lift it any higher, and would like to actually lower some. I am currently leaning towards some 2 inch BDS YJ springs and then drop the 1 inch body lift off, hopefully the result would be less no more than 1 inch of lift. I am just worried about it resulting in more lift than expected. I think the Military wrap and the beefier BDS springs would help and they are only $80 a piece with a replacement gaurantee.

Does anyone have any suggestions or thoughts on what springs to use? I would like to get away from needing the front anti-wrap bar and have a more durable spring. I will still put a rear anti-wrap on.

I also go to Coldwater, MI (BDS Warehouse Location) monthly for work and can pick up with no shipping, which helps some too!
