Add to a existing lift

Has anyone added to a existing 3" lift? I was thinking of adding 2" coil spacers in the front and doing something with the shackles in the rear.

Just get an ADJ. Track Bar, I recomend either RE or ORGS/JKS. Rusty's works but depending on what you plan to do later, the others can be modified easier.

You should look at longer LCA's to fix your wheelbase, the front springs may bow. RE, JKS or Rusty's will work fine. You may even consider Longarms, Midarms or drop brackets, at 5" of lift the CA angles are starting to get steep, and this makes your XJ ride like crap.
 
I have just done the exact same thing:
3" rustys lift
2" budget boost

I am in the process of looking for control arms and drop brackets, Is there any company that makes a better drop bracket than the others?
