few words from the normally ignored OM.
Stock suspension should be as good or better than many mods. Lifts raise the COG and will reduce stability. You should consider new stock height spring/shocks possiblely HD.
Just use some caution and adjust your driving style when loaded. Emergency maneuvers may not turn out as well when loaded.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

You should be able to find several choices in HD shocks. HD springs in stock height as you've found will likely be more difficult to find. They may be out there?
There is some front and rear spring info in the D2 Workshop Manual suspension sections that may help you find some spring specs. General area of WM also has some suspension info.
This may help determine if your present spring have worn/sagged.

Coil Spring Specifications – Models from 03 Model Year
The introduction of the 03MY vehicle introduced a range of additional spring fitments. These were introduced to cover
the introduction of the 4.6l V8 engine, the fitment of a front mounted winch and to optimise the vehicle trim heights.
The coil springs are manufactured from silicon manganese 13.8 mm or 13.9 mm (0.54 in or 0.55 in) diameter bar. The
following spring data table shows the colour codes, number of coils and spring free length.
