What would be my best options if I wanted an extra 2 to 3 inches of lift up front to match up with the rear end. I have a 6.5" long arm lift with extended shackle brackets in the rear

Who makes 8-9" coils sold seperately that would work well with my lift?

Call rustys, reason being their CS is very decent, and they may send you coils alone.

If I found some 3" spacers, would that work well or do you think that's too big for a spacer?

Honestly the less spring the better ride at that height. The bigger spacer will reduce body roll.

Cool. Are polyeurethanes the only way to go? Any random material I don't know about?

Poly will last years and will have a better ride, cast arent that large and clunk around, not to mention crack under stress.

Thats what I figured. I'm just having a hard time finding polyeurethane spacers bigger than 1 3/4"

Oh really? When the long arms stretch out and loosen the front coils, will that affect them, like in terms of where they are mounted? I'm not too familiar with spacers and how they are mounted.
