Default How hard to go from a 3" lift to a 4"????

I will be installing my lift next weekend.

I bought a Zone 3" AAL kit. I plan on using the AAL AND partial bastard pack. I want to add 1" more to the lift. Is it as simple as getting the front coil spacer (1") to the now 3" over Zone coil, and experiment with the Bastard pack to get the 4" on the rear?

I already have a SYE and driveshaft coming, and will install that after I get to the lift-so I'm not worried about the added vib's of going up one inch.

I plan on doing the lift next weekend. Still waiting on the trackbar, SYE and HNT, and steering stab.

Your method is doable. I recommend you look at shackle relocation boxes, they are great. Also look into some sort of control arms to fix the geometry of the front

Thanks for responding TheJerm. I'm trying to keep it simple right now. I'm new at this 4x4 thing. Can you explain why I need the relocation boxes? Is it a geometry thing too? Or height?

For the front, will the stock arms work for 6 months or so? I plan on getting adjustable arms then, but already over budget on this lift now. But if you think the bad geometry will cause vibes or something you don't want happening on a DD, let me know.
