SOA for YJ build

I've been reading and reading and I'm in a bind as to what spring to go with for my YJ build.
The plans are to run a 38"-40" tire powered by a Chevy 350 or 383 stroker, 14B rear and D60 front.
I want to extend the wheelbase making it suitable for the larger tires, figured around 100-102 would be good. (Give or take)
This is still going to be a street driven vehicle so ride is to be considered somewhat.
Options for springs are wide open, from 44044's to F150's to XJ's.
I'm open to all sugestions.
Let me hear what you guys think.

I say F-150s on the rear. Get the 2.5" wide ones from a 2wd, use the stock spring hanger, and hang the shackel from the back bumper. The fuel tank will have to go where the back seat was, or maybe it can be done some other way, but it can't stay in the stock place. That should gain about 8" wheel base.

I hear the 44044s match the F-150s for lift, so use them up front and gain 2" wheelbase there.

Then put your tires on and cut as needed.

I have also heard that 7 leaf Waggy springs would be a good choice.
So many things to think about, ugh
