Default adding more lift?

i currently have 3.5" rustys coils up front with stock everything else. I rebuilt the bajesus out of the steering components with new stock replacements and energy suspension bushings on everything i could. It rolls like a brand new truck right now. i have a set of 2" spacers that i'm considering putting in because my rear is 4" higher than my front (long ***** story). I know i need longer brake lines and that's not a problem. i'm also picking up a new track bar for 4" of lift next week. Do i NEED longer control arms right away?. eventually i want to convert it to a long arm but thats like next year so i dont want to buy adj ones now. If i cant do it this way then i'll stay were i'm at so please don't post a bunch of "go with long arms idiot" posts. not all of us can just dump money like that into our jeeps. Oh and i did search on google but didnt find a specific answer.

Thanks

You will most likely need new lowers cause if u look at them now I bet they are pretty close to hitting the spring mounts tight above them. U have a couple options if u wanna go higher but don't wanna buy control arms check out control ARM drop brackets they will fix that issue I was running 3.5 lift coil and 1.75 spacers on stock control arms. So u can keep them for now just can't do anyreall wheeling widget defeats the purpose of the lift.
