I'm looking for a deal on a 6" lift or a 3" lift that I can add to my current 3".
I've just relocated and started a new job so no cash on hand but maybe work out a payment deal (you keep lift til paid) or some mechanical work.
I had to get new tires recently and got a good deal on 33" geolanders m/t but now I'm maxed out and can only go on pavement.

That's a pretty big increase in lift. You'll need many other components to make a 6" lift work with your rig. You'll probably be better off staying with a 3" lift and spending the cash else where, like SYE, lockers, and steering upgrade.

Even with all that other stuff I don't have room for flex with the tires I have.
All I'm thinking I need is: add to my 3". LCA, shocks shackles, coils spacers, and track bar.

And brake lines, sye, uppers are highly recommended, proper steering, you may even need to raise your sway bar links. That and nobody makes a 3" coil spacer. You may be able to cob together something for the rear to make it work but the front is more picky. I've done a few lifts on my Jeeps and yes you can do things cheap, but it can cut a little too close to being unsafe.

Oh I'm cheap. Not so cheap that my 3" is spacers. I went with a aal and 3" coil springs. If I can I'll make it myself. Its still a work in progress but this is the fender flares so far. Theyll be cleaned up once I finish building the rear flares. Its the base work for the exo.

I've trimmed as far as I can. I still need bump stops installed that'll help keep from cutting into the tires. But I still want a 6" when I was running 32" tires I was at my limits just running Walker Valley.

You would've done way better at walker with Lockers and better tires. With that said, 3" more of lift will not help you nearly as much.
