Short answer: Yes Coil Spacers and Shackles.

But there are a lot of other problems going that big if you do not have an SYE, Adjustable Trac bar, ect. adding 2 more inches is not the issue. Its all the other problems with being above 5 inches.

Like he said.

Spacers and extended shackle.
Depends on what the sky crapper lift consists of.

You'll definitely need new shocks, longer control arms (I'd suggest long arms at the height you'll be at), slip yoke eliminator, cv drive shaft, brake lines (assuming you have stock ones)
