From what I've read on this board you should be okay with H&R or Neuspeed sport springs. You could also do Ground Control but the spring rates are a bit too high for a comfortable ride. 35 and 40 series tires eliminate much of the comfort you have gotten used to with the stock set up.

The springs mentioned above should put you at about a 1-1.5 finger gap between tire and fender well according to various individuals on this board that have posted to threads similar to this one.

I am running Eibach Sportlines with the stock struts and I haven't
had any problems yet! Bout a finger gap and they ride real smooth.
BTW I am running 18 inch verdicts with a 215/35/18 parada.
