If so what type of springs and shocks are you using. I am currently running the Full Traction 4 inch and I am looking to go higher.

You already have the drop bracket for the track bar and new pitman arm right?

Yeah, I currently have their 4 inch Ultimate. Comes with front and rear adjustable track bars and drop pitman arm etc... But this is the short arm lift not the long arm. Wondering if anyone is running their 6 inch springs on a short arm set up. If so I am assuming they had to purchase new shocks maybe extended brake lines etc... Looking to see if anyone has done this on a short arm and what was needed to get this done.

That should be it for a 6" short arm lift.
New Springs, shocks, brakelines and Bump stops.

I think if it is ok to roll a short arm at 6" then the full traction short arm ultimate is probably the way to do it. minus the arm length, the track arms and stuff are the same as their long arm. I know a couple guys on here are running the Rough country 6" and a couple of them contacted me when I sold the FT long arm. One said that he didn;t like the on road ride, and the other said it did not flex well. But that is apples and oranges to the FT. If you do this let everyone know!!!
BTW. I think my TF 3" gave me like almost 5" in the front, and I know people running TF 4" kits are getting like 5.5. That is so close to 6" and I haven't heard of any issues.

I am running the 4 in FT right now and wanted to go higher. I have seen people running a short arm kit with Off road Evolution coilovers. Does anyone now what type of lift those provide up front? It has to be over 6in.
