Question Lift question for wj

i am looking to buyin a wj and was wondering about lifting it.... i have been researching lifts for it for a while now and i have decided if i get a wj to go with the rough country 4 inch x series kit with all the goodies.... it claims after install i could run a 265/75 tire which is a 32'' tire... is it possible to put 2 inch coil spacers in with the 4inch lift coils to get 6 inches of lift or would that throw something off somewhere?? thanks. and i was also thinkin if u trimmed a tad 33's could be squeezed in there (285/75/16) thanks!!!

heres 4inch kit link

This rig needs a long list of upgrades to go from 4 to 6 inches of lift. Plus with the way contro arm spacing is done on the axle death wobble is much more common. Keep it at 4 tops unless your willing to go long arms.

285/75/16's possible on 4" lift,minor trimming with stock wheels but the rear tires will be extremely close to the shocks. IRO is the superior kit IMO.

Was runnin it,i sold the jeep....if you can find like 1" spacers you should be golden,too much more than that and you'll have a ton of trimming.

http://www.csloffroad.com/jeepwjlong...ft-iror65.aspx would this 6.5 inch kit be okay or would u likely get the death wobble? or have other major problems?
