Since no one has yet answered you questions I will. I would skip the Calmini kit. Just replace the rear springs (there a threads on this if you search this site) and crank the front up. You will need to have the alignment reset after.
The drive train is very strong. the front axle is close to a dana 44 and the rear is almost as large as a dana 60. The weak point for some have been the half shafts although even with an ARB in the front I have yet to break one.
For larger tires you will have to trim some of the cladding.
