Post 95xj on a 6.5" lift

so i have a 95 xj with a 4.5" RC lift, i want to go with a 2" coil spacers to get the 6.5" but my question is, do i have to modified the upper control arms? i also want 2" rear leaf spring spacer, i been running this kit for a year now with no issues but i feel like i need more, come people told me to rotate the rear axle but i need some help, what upgrades do i have to do to fit the 2" spacers on the 4.5 lift that a already have , thanks

If you're going to go over 4.5", your best bet is to go long arms. I'm at 5.5" and my front axle isn't out far enough twords the front & the ride (not horrible) but deff. rough. I'd save for long arms and new leafs & springs. Your steering, track bar, etc are going to have to be upgraded too, as you'll probably want 35's at that height.

I agree with the first post. You will need a lot of little modifications that get expensive. Just go long arm, you will have a better ride anyways.
