Im guessing somebody else did this swap?

If you were able to swap a pair of dana 44s under your rig you should be able to figure out how to get another 2" of lift.

Otherwise, find out what you have under there for a suspension now, then get back to us.

Yes, a 44 is decent swap. I'm running a Dana 44 and have never had an issue from it.

What size tires are on your Jeep?

... Does it have Leaf springs up front or coil springs?

The Chevy stuff really isn't a big deal. Dana 44's came in a lot of different vehicles.

I like your username by the way. It made me laugh.
