what do you plan on doing with the rig. if your going to use it off road then go long arm for the get go much cheeper and easier then having to get it later after you already dumped money into a lift

why do you need 6.5 inches of lift, if you don't need the room flex?

LowCOG is the way to go IMO

at 6.5 you need a Adjustable track bar, SYE and drive shaft, you'll want better steering, just a lot more $$ into it. just my .02 as I'm a rock guy and hate that my XJ is at 5inchs of front lift but it works for now
