Default 4.5 jeep cherokee lift

I'm getting the rc 4.5 lift kit for my 2000 classic. Well i'm also getting the SYE later on but i'm wanting to know with the shocks that come with it, can i boost the truck up higher say with a inch coil spacer and blocks for the back which will lift the truck up to about 5 or 5.5 inchs instead of 4.5? Please answer.

I would think you would be ok there, but I'm not exactly sure. You can always call rc

I just got off the phone with them. They said the shocks that come with it can extend out to 6.5 inchs.

RC uses the same shocks for both their 4.5" and 6.5" lifts.
