wanting to go from 3 to 5 in lift
Sorry guys I got a dumb question. I have a 3in rough country lift and I wanna go to a 5in lift. Should I buy brand new(if so what is recommended ). Or should I buy a 2inch spring spacer and drop shackle. I got a really good deal on 4 33s BFG mud tires and. 31 spare for 120. What should I do. What is the pros and cons. I'm thinkin go for the 2in spacers and shackles. For cost so my wife wont get too mad lol just let me know I will really appreciate any info that helps. It is also my DD and I have two toddlers that always wanna ride in it. What else am I lookin to do if I go 5in lift besides lengthen the drive shaft and trac bar

You dont need to lengthen the driveshaft.. but a t-case drop, control arms, brake lines and trackbar. Your jeep will ride stiffer and you wont have as good of a shackle angle.
Just cut the fenders for those tires..its cheaper.
P.s. This is the build thread section, not the ask a question that has been asked 1000 times before section.
