OME 3" + ???
So my current situation: I have a 98 Cherokee w/ OME Shocks, 3" Lift, w/ leafs in the back, stock everything else regarding suspension, but would like to add some JKS gear.
I am looking to go a little higher and not sure of the next steps...
With out replacing my whole system what is the best way to go?
Should I do spacers, or can I replace springs? The ACOS Front Spacer system looks interesting... sorry super noob to most of this and very new to CF. any help or input would be greatly appreciated.

I just did the same thing
this is what I did
Front added home made 1.75" coil spacer
rear added RC 1.5" lift shackle ($6 at the junk yard) and home made shackle relocation brackets
rear 80-early 90s dakota brake line, front early 90s Chevy c1500 brake lines
junk yard SYE kit
you will need to address the control arms... I decided to swap in JK control arms...
the big reason that OME stops at 2-3" is because they are worried about ride quality
you might be able to just run a transfer case drop

Did you have any problems regarding ride quality after you put the shackles + spacers on,...
