I just did mine last weekend, put my V6 front coils in rear and put a set of V8 coils up front with 2 3/4 spacers. Heard the V8 coils will kick up a I6 about a 1/4. The rear coils with I6 they say sits at about 3 1/4 lift. But my coils are old so hope they sag me down to an even 3. So far it looks to be sitting even. You will need to get new shocks. I just made extensions for mine cause my funding is low for my GC. Then take your front track bar and redrill a hole on bracket on axle 3/4 over and re mount it. be care and make it straight, u might want to go up just a hair so u don't make it to close to the edge of the bracket. For the rear track u can just get a adj one or get a $44 drop bracket from fat bobs. They say the brackets will break eventually but for a cheap fix till u can get the new adj bar it will work. That's my plan. I still learning as well so if I got something wrong anyone please correct me
