4' lift to a 5-6" lift?

I am thinking of going a bit higher. I like my 4" lift, but rear springs, all shocks and trackbar need to be repaced. I am kicking around the idea of a 5 or 6" lift. My 4" drove great on and off road and there is not real problems after driving it for over 100K miles. Are there some negatives to going with a 6" lift? Am I giving up some ride quality? What brands are people raving about? What should I avoid?

Thanks for any help.

Well, I thought I might get a couple of replies on this. I guess, I wanted to know if I will just be getting into trouble going higher than my 4" I have now. The place that put it on in '96 told me I shouldn't go higher if I am using it as a daily. He stated 4" was the limit for my '96. I was just looking for another opinion. Part of me wants a little higher.

What else do you currently have? SYE kit and new driveshaft? If not, you'll want them with more lift. You should expect to give up a little road manners but it's not drastic. A little more body lean, kinda bouncy....vibes and steering issues can all be corrected. But then you'll probably want 33's and new gears so it's between you and your wallet. I have a 5.5" RE kit and already want to go higher to fit 35's, but that's me.

Yeah, that is what I am looking for. I have all stock driveshaft and no SYE kit. I lowered my transfer case because of all the noise and vibration when I installed it at first. I would like to go higher, but at what cost? I guess the lift is only part of the expense. Then you need to buy new driveshafts and SYE kit. It isn't like I can go out and just buy a lift like I originally thought.

I hate repacing my shocks, shackles and leafs and not go higher, but it sounds like that is what I will have to do. I don't have the money beyond the lift expense.

Thanks,

The ride will be vicious. It has to do with the angle of the control arms. Over 4" long arms or drop brackets are a must. Check my rig out with 5" at www.geocities.com/jammerjamesharmon
