While they may have sent you the wrong coils, skyjacker is crap. They shouldn't have netted you so little lift but that's why you don't see a ton of people clamoring to go buy those coils.

Contact their tech department and see if it's a snafu....otherwise......sell them and get some decent coils.

I have a 2.5 coil spacer on my 2010 2 Dr and I'm wanting to go with a 3.5 lift. Would it be stupid to try and use the spacer lift I already have to add height to the new lift to make it 6" total? I'm fine with just having the 3.5 added but I figured if I already had the spacer that that I could just add it and get some extra height.

I see nothing about how you use the Jeep, or which wheels you got.
If it's mainly a DD, than why a 6" lift.
If you seriously offroad, than the tires are No.1 on the mods list.
With a JK, there's very little you can't do with 35" wheels and 2.5"~4" lift, not to mention 37".
Even an almost stock JK on 37"s is very capable.

A 6" lift on a JK may pretty much spoil the handling, both on & off road.
6" lift demands long arms and a list of other mods.

I have 35" duratracs with 4.5 back spaced rims. I'm thinking I'm just gonna go with the 3.5 lift.
