ok so i lifted my cherokee 4.5" with coil spring from a 95 cougar in the front and 88 s10 leafs in the back, had planned on only runnin 33"s on it but came across five 36" super swampers mounted on aluminum bullet holes for $500, coundn't pass that up, put them on and i like the way it looks but not enuff clearance and i dont want to cut on my fenders so my question is, is there any way to do a 6" bastard pack lift?

Just trim man, that thing would look sick!

Even if you did do 6" of lift, I don't think you'd clear 'em and you'd have to flex.

Extended shackles and coil spacers. Longer shackles will also give you more articulation with those longer leafs.

Ride worse on the road, get beat up on the trail, more expensive, look bad unless it's 17's with 37's or 20's with 40's and that's pushing it.

I'm trying to find a coupon code for rough country. I'm ready to buy the lift but some money off would be really nice.

Get a Zone lift. You'll save money if you buy from AOR(vendor on the forum)

Zone doesn't have a long arm kit AFAIK. I'm debating on rc and zone too but the long arms is pushing me to rc. RE is still an option but I'm thinking save some money on rc and spend it on other stuff (sye, steering upgrade, etc).
