Lift height
I'm in the middle of installing a RC 4.5" long arm. The jeep previously had 2 inch spacers and adjustable shackles. Would it be alright if I left the spacers and shackles in and move it up to 6.5"? I have a pretty bad shackle angle in the back but I plan on buying some relocation brackets pretty soon to fix that. Any recommendations?

You WILL definitely want Long arms, or at least CA drop brackets. Extended brake lines, SYE, ext. bumpstops. The shackle relocation brackets will give you more lift as well, so when you do those.. dial down your shackles.

I already have the long arm kit and extended brake lines. Do you think the lines that came with the 4.5 kit will work for 6.5? And next pay check is the sye and relocation brackets. Is it better to have 6 inch lift coils or 4 inch coils and 2 inch spacers?
