I'm looking for some suggestion and tips on getting/ adding to my current lift kit. I am currently running 4 in rc front coils and 2 in pucks in the front along with a rc adjustable trac bar, rc fixed lcas and stock uca's I also have rc shocks not sure what kind all the way around, tcase drop, I believe 3.5 or 4 in rc leafs packs with 2 in rc shackles. I think I covered what I have now my goal is to go higher with more flex, I have done research and long arms are the way to go but I don't want to go the route I was thinking of getting 6in rc coils, 6in leafs all four shocks, adjustable upper and lower control arms, control arm drop brackets, shackle relocates, how much lift will this put me at if there's anyone with previous experience to this please give me some tips on what you did or if you think there are better options chime in just looking to see what options I have

long arms are absolutely the answer. going taller is not. get long arms and shackle relocation brackets and forget about having a taller lift
just because you have a taller lift does not mean you will have more flex

It's not so much that I don't want long arms I just don't know enough about them is there any good write ups explaining exactly what and how to install because the searching I've done looks like a lot of other mods need to be done as well I could be wrong though like I said I don't know enough about them

step 1. cut off your old control arm brackets on the frame
step 2. remove factory crossmember
step 3. install new cross member and new long arms
step 4. get some decent shocks, limit straps, and bump stops
simple

Yeah more lift doesnt equal more flex, a more properly sey up kit does. Long arms are the way to go, better ride and more flex. And in the end your not paing much more than adjustable uppers and lower with drop brakets. Sounds like your right at six, so I say get some LA's, 6" coils, shackle relocation brackets(that shackle angle should be 45 degrees), SYE, gear, and run 35s

Get the IRO kit.
If you upgrade your coils you may as well upgrade your leafs too or youll most likely be sitting uneven. You could do 5.5" RE coils and 4.5" RE leafs + 1" shackles which will put you around 6.5" front and rear.
SYE is far better than tcase drop so most would recommend getting one.
Ive been scouring the interwebs for the best prices on all this stuff while building my kit so if you want the best prices (that I found anyways) shoot me a message. Just lmk what you want. ;-)

everyone needs an SYE. don't cheap out here bud. do it once do it right and you'll be happy for much longer
4.5" coils, 3.5" leafs, no-lift relocation brackets, 1" lift shackle, SYE and long arms. this setup is pretty stout
