Louis,
]if everyone was jumping off a bridge into a catus feild would you?
SOA is OLD not for your type of wheeling/driving.

ENS doubles up the spring packs, how many leaves do you have under the rear? how many 'doubles' are there? on my 75(s) i had to remove 1/2 the number of leaves to get back to stock ride and the ride was NICE. you will need longer shackles on the rear to gqain back the lift needed.

yourr tay is low due to the lack of wheel arches so the 36" rubber is going to rub under articulation. you can do a couple things to compensate for this.

you can cut arches into the tray (bad idea)

you can go SOA but with the front lift you will be ass high and look like shit plus your stability is shot all to hell and you will have to cut and rotate the front diff, lengthen the drive shafts, lengthen the brake lines, reroute the emergency cable etc etc. (to me, bad idea)

you can lift the one tire with a forklift till it just kisses the tray and measure how much you need to drop the spring retention bumpers (spring articulation stops mounted to the frame above the rear axle). this allows for a nice ride, decent articulation, no rub on the rear.

you can drop the rear front spring hanger with a 2" block, the rear shackle custom to 3" and you will end up with an additional 2 1/2" lift but once again you have the front springs to concern yoruself with.

K_I_S_S principle...

i have done a number of ex-mine trucks, no use you stumbling down the same road.
