Default What's the best option

I want to give my jeep another 2 inches of height to my current 3 inch lift. What is the best, cheapest way to do that? I know there are shackles and blocks option for the rear that I can put, but what about the front. Can anyone please give me some info for best option thanks!

Be aware that you'll also need new control arms if you don't already have them and a sye and driveshaft most likely. But if you're prepared for that plus other things that you may encounter like track bars, if you don't already have one, steering angles etc. I'd say coil spacers up front and a long add a leaf or shackles in the rear.

Default Off-roading

Can anyone help me out with a list of things I'd need for better performance on my jeep as a daily driver and some off-roading, nothing too hardcore. Ive learned that I would need better gear ratio, to either replace axles or re-gear them. Re-gearing is expensive so I will probably look to swap instead. Jeep is mostly stock underneath besides a 3" lift kit
