Willy's P/U truck springs. . .lift???

Hey does anybody know what springs you can use to lift the '49-62 Willy's P/U trucks?

I think that I've heard the Cherokee XJ springs are good candidates especially because of the offset center pin which when oriented correctly helps reduce axle wrap.

We have a '49 that we're swapping a 14 bolt/Dana 60 front w/40x13.50x17 BFG MTR's on Hummer H2 wheels under. . .I'm pretty sure I'm gonna need at least a little lift for fender clearance.

I know where I can get stock replacement springs (Kaiser-Willy's, Willy's America, & Walck's 4WD) but I haven't seen any lift springs.

Thanks!
