I suggest you go with rear 5.5" or 5" springs (these are 2.25" diameter in the rear), and run the rear adjuster up since it has over an inch and a half of adjustability. Coil bind has not been even close of an issue on the 5" rear springs for me, but my rears are 900# (not much compression), so perhaps a 5.5" rear might be better at a 550 rear spring if you can find a 5.5" length.
Also, do some research on Swift springs. I have never used them, but have heard varying things. I use Hyperco and Eibach springs, and both are great.

Thanks for the heads up. I know they have 6" but no 5.5"...

Basically my philosophy is to spend as much money as possible on suspension.

Who's talking about sacrifice? This is obviously an upgrade over stock. Everything is relative and not everyone needs a full balls out race car. If this were a convo on springs only or some entry level off-the-shelf system I could see your point.... now back on topic please.
