Default adding BB to lift kit

i lifted my 09 4 door with the 4.5" BDS lift about a month ago and i wanted to get a little more hight out of it. do you think putting in 2" spacers or doing the tf leveling kit would be a better idea for my situation?

thanks everyone

Is it sagging or do you just want more lift for looks?

If you just need a little, I would go with a 1 in body lift so your not screwing with all your geometry and such.or you may be able to get away with 1in coil spacers

I'm not familiar with everything in their kit, but 2in is alot to add to what you already have and may require some more mods to your whole suspensio for proper function and correct handling.

Do you have adj front and rear track bars?or just brackets?Aftermarket driveshafts? If you just have brackets for the trackbars , you need to get adj ones to make up the difference. What kind of steering provisions do u have? Also brake lines? Bumpstops , sway links?Are they long enough? Allotta stuff to consider
