Default "Noob" question

Be easy on me haha Just started Jeepin'

I currently am running 2.5" lift all around via spacers up front and shackles in the rear. I'm on 31.50 Open Countrys at the moment with cut fenders. I also have an un-installed Rubicon Express Long Arm Kit (homemade arms that are able to be cut slightly shorter as well. SUPER BEEFY)

I'd like to get up to 4.5-5.5" lift total. I'd also like to install the long arm kit if possible (I know its really meant for more lift, but can custom cut arms)

That said, am I best off ditching my current lift methods and getting a full 4.5" lift kit OR can I just get longer springs up front and add a leaf in the rear. If I do that, can I go ahead and install this long arm kit? I would like to also add new shocks to the setup.

Any help is appreciated.

Get longer coils , shocks , brake lines , double shear trackbar , Sye/driveshaft. 2.5-3.5" leaf packs and install your longarm
