just get some gorilla lock nuts. either ones with 1 lock nut, or all 4 lock nuts, or just basic type where a socket adapter is needed to remove.

As for springs, there is a diminishing return on getting stiffer springs as it relates to ride height. Did you already calculate the drop with those spring specs?

Sweet, I'll look into those lug nuts Jonathan. And as for the springs, what do you mean a diminishing return on getting stiffer springs as it relates to ride height? Sorry I'm having a brain fart and I'm sleepy lol. I basically just want 5" springs in the rear (so I can put my locks/perches back while being able to go as low) that are stiff enough to where I can have one or two people in the back without the spring compressing an inch. I want the lips of my wheels to be pretty close to my fenders when everything gets dialed in correctly. If I can find those stance coil springs you showed me, in 8k BUT in 5", I will definitely pick those up. If I go with the 6" that are available, once I put the locks/perches back on it, its max low would be the same height where I am at right now basically. So I want to get a shorter spring so I can even out that rear height cause my rear passenger side is about 1/4th of an inch higher remember?
