Default 6" lift ir 4" lift

Hey everyone sorry to ask such a dumb question but I need help deciding on what to do I currently have a 4" lift on my 2 door JK and it is a rough country which was at the time the cheapest and most realistic thing for me well after adding the front bumper and the hard top I've dropped a few inches and I still have the rear bumper and spare tire to put on so here's what I was thinking either add a 2" spacer to the lift I have or go a full long arm 6" lift with 37" tires I'm running 35"s now it is my daily driver but I do offroad when I can please give my some input thanks in advance

No need to go 6" unless you're on 42's. 3.5-4" would be good with 37's

I would get a good quality 3.5" to 4" lift and cut the fenders. I wouldn't go 6" unless I was stuffing 40's under it..

I would look at a drag link flip, not a drop pitman arm at 4"+ of lift. Spacers would be fine to add to your rig if you are getting sag from extra weight, but you should have plenty of lift for 35's and I would suspect even for 37's without using them. JKS makes a product called the acos which may be an option for you.

Nice lookin Jeep man. Im running 37's on 3" lift. You just have to bumpstop and trim appropriately. Id bet you could fit 37's on your current lift with minor adjustments.
