Default Quick Franken lift ?

Right now i have a RC 2.5 spacer lift

instead of taking it off and buying a new "bigger" "better" lift, is it possible to leave it on and buy the teraflex 2.5 coil lift and add it too it??

if so i know ill need:
Longer shocks
sway links
Upper control arms for caster (??)
track bars
Bump stops

Please someone chime in if theres other things needed or if this wouldnt work as an option

Thanks Bryan

The tf 2.5 will give you 3in of lift, that'll put you at 5.5in of lift, you need a whole lotta stuff.

The Faq's are generally a decent place to start...

Q: What are all the components that I will need with a 4" lift?
Q: What is Caster? How much do I need?

Then move on to the DIY alignment write-up.
