I've always wanted 6.5" of lift on my Jeep. That's my ultimate goal.
Anyways, i have the 4.5" Rough Country Long Arm lift kit currently installed. I know there are a lot of way to get that extra 2" of lift, but i want to do it professionally and not hacked together. (ie; blocks & coil spacers.)
Does anyone know if the long arms on the 4.5" and 6.5" are the same lenght? I think the only thing that differs between the 4.5" & 6.5" lift is the rear 2" shackles and the front 6.5" coils.
If i were to get 6.5" coils and two inch drop shackles in the rear (i would get a full 6.5" leaf pack, but i've read that drop shackles make your jeep flex better.) would that essentially give me 6.5" of lift?
I know at this point i will be forced to install a sye. (I have a 242 and already have an IRO Hack N' Tap) on hand just haven't installed it.
For steering i have the Currie HD steering. I think it's good for 6". Would that extra .5" really matter? I have an 8.25 in the rear, and a HP D30 in the front.
My trackbar is an IRO Double Shear that will adjust up to 8" of lift. Will i need a dropped pitman arm?
Am i missing anything?
Oh, and i should mention - As soon as my 32x11.5x15s tread their last tread i'm going with 35x12.5x15s.
