Default 3" Lift then 2" Coil Spacers?

I have a zone 3" lift on my jeep currently and was curious what else I would need for sure if I decided to put a 2" coil spacer aswell. I'm assuming id need a adjustable front track bar but would I also need new sway bar links again aswell? Or anything else? I have a 2 door, but am only looking to do this if I put in new driveshafts. I know I'm better off just getting a nice lift but I'm just looking at other options at the moment.

Thanks,

Maertz

What issues might I run into even if my shocks are long enough?

Curious what sized tires you are wanting to run? 3" of lift will be good up to a 35" tire. If you decide to use a spacer on top of that I wouldn't go over 1" to be safe

I would stick with that. Maybe add a 3/4" spacer up front if it needs to be leveled. My next step would be to cut the fenders or buy some flat fenders. They will give you more clearance and make it look a little higher as well
