Default 3 inch zone lift ?s

if i run the 3 inch lift and i add a front spacer and a rear shackle to it what ones would be the best to use to get 4 inches of lift total and would the shocks in the kit still work or would i need to go bigger? also i wouldnt be offroading MUCH with it so im not worried about flex yet maybe down the road icould add the shocks for more lift and discos etc. any input?

I would grab 1 inch spacers up front, and instead of new shackles, get the RC shackle relocation mounts. They will give you a better ride, more flex, and between 1-1.5 inches of lift. I would get bigger shocks, and prolly new brake lines or brake line relocation brackets.

How crazy, I'm getting ready to do the same thing next weekend. I have all the parts XJMAFIA. Instead of RC shackle relocator, since I'm doing the AAL; I'm also doing a bastardpack/AAL hybrid(I heard AAL on it's own is not going to last long on flat rear springs, so this will be my cost effective fix) to get my 4" total on the rear. I'm picking up leaf springs tomorrow and will let you know next weekend what "worked" to get 4", with the Zone AAL AND bastard pack.
