So now Im thinking standard Fox resi and to deal with my extra weight either heavier springs or keep my springs and get a set of air bags to help when loaded but still be soft as a daily and flexxy weekender. Anyone got some advice?

Sorry to hear but it was to be expected to be honest, ARB hasn't managed to release anything they have designed without ongoing issues (is that the sound of another ARB locker leaking air I hear......), they just pay a lot in advertising to paint over this fact.
A set of remote res Fox shocks will sort out your woes, get the car weighed empty and then let Fox (or the company your deal with) know this weight and the fact that you also often load the car up with an extra XYZkg and they will build them to your needs at no extra charge. I recommend getting a set of the adjustable ones as most jeeps are pretty light so you really need the adjustment when you throw in a bunch of gear. A set of adjustable airbags in the rear springs will sort out the rest of you needs when you load the the back up or are towing.

Unfortunately being ARB it will be cheap chinese rubbish that has been painted (no doubt with lead paint) to look like something good then sold to you as being the best there is to buy.....
Expensive and timely lesson learned to stay clear of ARB.
