Default needing some advice

i have a 99 sport 4 door 4.0 np242 auto just pick it up about a month ago. right now it has a placed together lift on it its probably about 4 inches. i want to redo the whole thing i think im going to go with a rubicon 3.5 lift for now trim the finders run my 32s till they are played out. but some time next year i would throw a budget lift on top of the lift to make it about 5 inches. my question is i will need a track bar break lines and little odd and ends. would it be better to just wait a little longer and just get a 4.5 inch kit and run 33s. and i cant find nothing for my tcase right now im shimmed 6 degrees on my back axel and a tcase drop. i cant figure out if i could run a rc 4.5 lift with no sye for a little wile. thanks and i know its alot of questions in one.

If you are already lifted and clear your 32s stick with what you have and save for a long arm kit 4.5-5.5" that's what I'd do. No sense in spending the money twice.
