Default Lift Question

I have a 4" rough country lift, and I'm running 35"s I thinking about running 2" spacers on top of the lift I have already what all would it take to do this??

I already have an adjustable front track bar, and soon I'm getting quick discos and longer brake lines what else would I need to do??

Why are you wanting to do this? 4" is more lift than you need to run 35's. Have your springs sagged?

Which 4"?

Adj ca's (and weld up the holes from the cams?), driveshafts, bumpstops, shocks or extensions, get rid of the drop pitman/bracket and go to a steering flip?

Some people want more lift because they want to, or they like the way it looks.

OP, You might want to check bump stops.

Six inches of lift on a JK takes a lot of money to do it right. Not being rude, but if you have to ask what it takes to go that high you shouldn't do it.

If your spring have sagged just order some new 4" springs. 2" spacers are just a band aid for your "bad" coils. Synergy or tereflex makes some good ones.
