first off, what are you looking to get total? ok so if you have 4.5 springs with 1 3/4 spacers that would be 6 1/4 net in the front. rear im assuming 4.5 either leaf pack or add a leaf and 2" shackles. so if you want 2 inches you would have to get rid of the 1 3/4 spacers in the front and get 3 inch spacers which would give you 7 1/2 net in the front. for the rear you can keep your shackles and get a 6 1/2 spring pack and just lower the shackles to 1 1/2 which makes it 7.5 in the rear. here i did the search for you.

spring pack : http://rustysoffroad.com/mm5/merchan...gory_Code=LEAF
keep in mind youre going to have to correctly modify your driveline for the changes you are making so its gonna be more than 350.

what size tire are you running that you need that kind of lift theres guys on here running 35s with only 3 inches i think you need to reevaluate your approach at this IMHO that is too much lift you will need to do alot driveline modification not worth it IMHO

glad to see we are gettin somewhere.
your shocks are already too short so add a set of shocks in the mix- thats a good $150 if you wan't to run the cheap crap.
brake hoses will be stretched, add another 80 for those
if you have shortarms now, then you already know how much they suck, i wouldn't run them at anything more than 4". figure a cheap longarm upgrade runs about $600
don't know what you have for t-case/driveshaft mods, but you NEED an sye and cv shaft as it is. you will likely have front driveshaft issues too
your steering is already at its limit, at the least you need to switch to an otk setup if not go crossover
not sure what trackbar you have now, but throw in a nice hd unit in there if you have one that came with the 4.5" lift
then comes in the size of tires you wan't to run, i'm assuming 37"+ so you will need to factor in axles that will hold up to those tires.
then add in the actual cost of the new springs
and you have your total

I think it would look great and be a bit more stable if you got rid of the spacers and shackles. You're probably getting 7 inches out of the rubicon springs anyways. It looks sweet with that ARB bumper BTW.
