man it's your rig do what makes you happy . We can all tell u what we would. But in the end u have to drive it. Personally I like my set up. I will say its a little different driving at 6" inches but like anything else you get use to it

A 6" lift on a 2 door would be very dangerous off road in my opinion. 4 doors can pull it off with their increased wheelbase but it's still too much for them. Remember we have a 95" wheelbase compared to a JKU's 116" WB . Like previous posters said you only need 3.5 to 4" of lift to run 37's. If you like going on trails with steep climbs and descents with off camber stay low generally 4" or less. If you stay under 2.5 you won't need drive shafts either. I personally went with a 3.5" lift to run 37's on mine with flat fenders. Sell it to some mudders or return it you be happier in the long run staling with a LCG build.

Wow... 6" on a 2 door. I kind of want to see this

At min.
Adams driveshafts front/rear $650 ish
Synergy Highsteer $300

The biggest problem is going to be pinion angle up front and caster. You are going to have no choice but to give up caster for pinion angle running a aftermarket DS. I'm thinking 1-2* caster and it will drive like ass.
Prorock/TF housing or cut and rotate the C's for caster.

Gotta pay to play. 6" is not cheap.

Never seen a kit come with differential covers before. It not, and you have OEM, how are you going to get the diff's filled with the proper amount of lube? The higher you lift, the more the diff cover fill ports rotate down, the less fluid you can get in them. And while the lift may come with new brake lines, what are they doing with the wheel sensor lines? Those aren't long enough for six inches of lift. And what about the differential breather lines? Still leaving those at the same level, so no gain in water fording ability for your six inches of lift? There is nothing difficult about any of those, but if Rough Country didn't provide for them in the kit or instructions, then how "complete" is that kit really?

BTW: Lifts don't provide clearance over rocks. They can move certain parts like electronics in the engine higher up so it doesn't get wet as easily, but it's really tires that provide clearance over rough terrain. COG is extremely important if you're going to rock crawl--don't think 2" to 3" isn't that much more and you'll be fine. You can't be certain of that until you find out you weren't. Here, for your entertainment (got to love that dismount) ...

OK...OK...sorry to be such a noob. I didn't know. Most of the stuff out here is pretty tame. Was just looking to make my baby a lil meaner.

No worries man We're here to help, not bash the gift your wife bought you . Cool wife ya must have! 6" is a big commitment (that's what she said), not something that you can just slap on and go. Just make sure you're prepared for what you're getting in to.

Wish there was an easy way to figure all this out.. I can drive with the best but I'm not much of a mech.
