So I got my tax return today! Waiting to put my order in for the 6.5 in lift parts because I don't know what I want to do. I don't know if i should do the coil spacers up front and shackles with 4.5 in springs or if o should just get new coils for the front.

I have the 4.5 rc coils and they are fine. Plus I don't care about ride quality.

Rusty's has 6.5" coils for $150 and they have a 150lbs spring rate. My dad's XJ has a 4.5" RC lift. It's like a 3/4 ton truck
