Default Adding 1/2" or 1" spacers to an already lifted Heep?

Ok so this thread might already be posted somewhere but I got tired of searching (aka lazy)...I was wondering if I added 1/2'' or 1" spacers to my 2dr which already has the RC 4" lift what else in the realm of modifications am I going to have to do? Its really probably not a big deal I just feel like my Heep doesn't sit as tall as some others I have seen with 4" lifts and I would like to give her a little boost. If its going to be a ton in modifications I will probably say the heck with it and wait till I can do a 6" LA kit with 37s (As I am also awaiting/saving for a weeench). Let me know what you guys think and let me know if I'm crazy and just need to let it stay like it is (for now that is). Thanks guys!

Are you still running with the stock drive shafts? If so, more height could cause trouble.

Yes I am and I was afraid of that looks like she will be staying at her current height for now...

you could always trim the fenders to make it look like its taller because of more space between the tire and fender

Thanks...that's good advice! I think I may do that...I do feel like the flares kinda "swallow" up the tires

If you get a wench make sure she can cook, fetch the ocassional beer, and carry a 5 gallon bucket full of water. Probably a good idea to have no 'chitlins, too. And Duh, she must like Jeepin
