Those parts are probably worth 300 bucks but I wouldn't run it all like that.

Sell the blocks and spacers. The AAL will probably sag or is already sagging. It might work out great.

At the very least, ditch the blocks for a shackle.

sounds like he already bought it and your use your periods wrong and your grammar is horrible lol.

So you have 3" coils + 3" spacer for the front
A add a leaf kit and Blocks
6" shocks
and extended control arms

With that being side, I would get shackles and throw out the blocks. You will need a adjustable track bar yet. You will also need a SYE kit, becuase your are lifted over 4". If you want a true 6" in the rear I think the add a leaf and the shackles still wont net you what you want, that being said you would be better off buying A full leaf replacement.

GOOD LUCK!

Ha! That's exactly what I was thinking.

The first sentence has more mistakes than my 6 year old daughter's entire english paper.

Its the auto correct on my phone lol

It tried to autopredict my words. Earlier I was working under my jeep and I got rust in my eye, they are still sore so I had to remove my contacts and put in some visine. So I am having a hard time right now.
