I know I'm not who you're looking for, but from experience with Carrier Spring Co. (customsuspension.c o m), DO IT!!! Tyler is a great guy to deal with and I'm very happy with my springs....GREAT PRODUCT!!!! 
My truck is in their gallery, too.

My springs were very pricey...before I tell you how much, I'll just say that National, Atlas, and Alcan Spring were MORE expensive. Not saying that they have a better or inferior product compared to Carrier, but they just charged more. My springs are 12" front and 15" rear soft-ride springs. Soft ride = more leaves (thinner)= more money. All 4 leaf packs shipped to my door were $2275. This included the shipping from Canada. Springs with half as much lift will be way cheaper since you won't need 12 leaves per pack....only 5-6.

thanx man!
i ordered a set of skyjacker 6" lift springs and cleared them nicely...although just recently i removed 2 leafs from the pack so it is apprx 4" lift springs. no body lift and no fender trimming. i did the shackle flip kit in the back so i still have my stock rear springs.

I had to but thats cause i needed fender clearence after cutting 3 of the 4 new boggers when i ran though a tough truck course mud pit, and i only had a day to do it (the only day i had time before the nexr bog), but this also enable me to make new inner fenders (out of swather canvass) to seal the engine conpartment.
How much lift are you running cutts? I know that you have at least 2-3" more than i do (which is none at the moment) from your SAS using the 1 ton springs.
