Default custom lift question

hey guys i am currently lifted to 4.5" with the RE superflex short-arm kit, with the add-a-leaf rear, i want to push it to 6.5" by throwing some s-10 bastards in the back with superior automotive 13-4100 drop shackles, and RC 6.5" front coils. my question is, will my track bar still be operable with this added lift? and will i have any other ill-effects before i spend the money and time to do this, and will i need to change anything else? i understand shocks are a possibility. thanks in advance.

What trac bar do you have? Stock or aftermarket? You might need some other stuff too if you lift it a couple more inches. And with a 6.5 lift you might as well go with long arms.

Did you do SYE yet? That is a must for that height. You wil need new shocks too. Might be a bad ride without.
