upgrade.
when i put my next set of tires on gears will go with it, so im thinking i might do some 35s. if i decide on 35s im gonna need a tad extra lift. i have 4.5" coils front with 1.5" spacers for my winch/bumper, should i just get some 5.5" coils? and for the rear its got a shackle on it already the one that came with the 4.5" RE lift im thinking its 1"? As it sits hte rear is STILL higher than the front, the lifts been on a while so the rear is in no danger of sagging, but what should i do for an extra inch of rear lift? I couldnt find any 2" shackles (Im assuming id need 2" ones to make up for the 1" shackle there now...)
Im going to go for some drop brackets too, should i get the rubicon express or just use hte rough country ones?
Obviously some 4.56 gears will go along with this extension of lift, but will i need to extend my shocks? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

its looking like 1.5" teraflex shackles are as close as ill get? there are some super ill teraflex "revolver" shackles but i dont think those add any lift, just insane flex....

No suggestions here but just a confirmation the Terra flex revolver just add flex not lift.

if i go with 33s and 4.10s instead of 35s and 4.56s ill probobly be getting better gas mileage and i think that my ball joints (once replaced) would like it a lil bit better. But then again, i plan on getting teraflex highsteer so that might be a good reason to bump it up to 35s maybe... Im not sure, i dont question my axles capabilitys to run 35s, but what if theyre locked? im not sure ...

i would say the fuel milage difference between the 2 setups is neglible. your lifting a jeep and beating the crap out of it offroad, 1 or 2 mpg should be the last thing your worried about
ive gotten very similar fuel milage stock as with my 37's. but even if there was a difference it still wouldnt stop me.
teraflex revolvers are pure garbage, good if you wheel rti ramps and don't touch hills.
you may or may not need shocks. depends on a few things.
