Default Rough Country 6" lift

Hello everyone
I am looking to possibly purchasing this lift. I'm fairly new to off-roaders and Jeeps in general. I have an 09 2-door. What driveshafts would be best for this lift? And drop pitman arms? Any suggestions? Thanks in advance. Want to make sure I cover all my bases!

Man, this is HIGH!!
Witch tire are you going to use? 42???
A lift this high will need a lot of pieces... think a lot before... this way you won't pay twice...

I'm thinking 37" tires. I think I agree the 6" lift may be too much. What are everyone's opinions about a 4" long arm on a two door?

Your rig is badass! This is exactly what I'm looking for looks/function! Price all said and done? And recommended driveshafts?

I plan on cutting stock flares too. Might as well get the most out of them before ditching them! Plus if money can be saved then it should be....I got other Jeep stuff to buy!
