All in all I would like to move upto 6" springs instead of my superlift 4" springs. I would like some sort of confirmation of the things I'd need to replace with this.
This is what I'm thinking will need replaced:
Teraflex 6" springs
Longer Quick Disconnects
Adjustable rear trackbar
Front & rear driveshafts
Things I think will work fine:
3/4" spring spacers
adjustable front trackbar
Adjustable control arms
What else am I missing??? Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Not sure if I'd have to get longer bumpstops...I think mine are quite long enough..but I'd test it after installing longer springs
I think I could fab up something for the brake lines and abs line
As for the shocks...I have 5" rubicon express shocks...I could test the travel, but if all else fails, I could install the shock extensions that came with my original 2.5" BB (front and rear)

You could do a 6" and short arms, just don't expect a great ride or handling.
Draglink Flip kit #1600440
Rear FORGED Trackbar #1754418
Longer brake lines, swaybar links, correct bumpstops.

Take a look at this pic and use it to compare with what you have already. What size of tires do you want run?

everyone keeps asking what tires, but that's not really decided yet
I will probably move upto 40's at some point, but I want to move up first. I have 'good' adjustable short arms but I'm surprized that people are saying the ride would suffer so badly. I mean, I'm sitting at 4 3/4 lift right now, I know most 6" lifts run a little higher than advertised, but we're talking 1 1/4 inches above what I'm currently running.
I can flex without an incling of rubbing right now, and I'm running a 'skinny' 38. But I know that just like every other guy on here that I'm eventually going to go bigger if I keep this JK around for a while. I've considered mounting 40's just to flex it out and see what type of clearance issues I'd have, but I honestly thought moving up-to 6" springs wouldn't be a huge hassle or $$$ pit
maybe I was wrong
BTW my JK is a daily driver...at my current lift/tires I have no issues with driveability at all....been getting 16.5 mpg solid for over a year....highway & city...and it is still outstanding off-road as well. I've been wheeling with a fortified D-30 and I plan to until it breaks...I've got about $1K invested in the gears/axles/ and reinforcements, so I hope it holds up....but I plan on testing...and testing....and testing it until it doesn't
