Do you have a sye?
Hows your steering?
Cheapest way, imo would be shackle relocation for the rear (should add 1.5" of lift) and a spacer for the front. Plus you get all the benefits of having the proper shackle angle which is a bonus!
Also depending on what shackle you have now, you could get a longer set to add a little more height
Your probably gonna want some control arm drop brackets though, that's getting awfully tall for short arms in the stock location!!!

If you are already at 4 1/2" on short arms I would break out the sawzall / grinder for clearance or go with long arms now - could go with control arm drop brackets, too, but either way you need to address steering angles. 6+ inches of lift on short arms is going to drive, flex & ride like crap.

How much more clearance do you need? What size tires are you running?

Fwiw with proper trimming and or fender flares, you can add a lot more space for tires/travel. I'm running 37's with 5-5 1/2" lift with plenty of room to move around. Not a ton of up travel in the rear, but with proper bump stopping it works great.
And after having XJ's with anywhere from 5"- the 9" (or 9.5" whatever it is) Rustys lift, I'm loving the lower stance!!!

Well if you plan on the Rustys fenders then I would bother lifting it at all!! That's exactly what I run. The Rustys front fenders open up a lot!! Even the rears hug the profile of a 37" toyo, mtr/k and irok perfectly. Not sure on some of the others. My pout is they give you tons of space!
