Uh... most guys I know with over 3 inches of lift usually run either a t-case drop, or the better option of an SYE (slip yoke eliminator). I'm not the best with higher lifts, but I dont know what height it is when you start to run into suspension issues (LCA's, UCA's, sway bars, etc..).

Hopefully someone with more knowledge and experience will chime in. Good luck man!

check out gojeep.com from aussie for some home brew ideas you can apply (like TCase drop spacers). Your Trac bar will be pullin front to the side at 4" lift, need longer or adjustable, perhaps new hole at lower end 3/4" over and 1/8" up toward driver side may do in interim. Drop your front brake line hard line to flex line brackets way down inside your front wheel well so you don't pull off a brake line, remount your rear line lower down your frame, or get longer lines for both ends, full size dodge truck or dakota lines can work at the rear, skyjacker has longer stainless braid replacements available also.
