So do you have longer shackles or stock ones? If not just 2 inch lift shackles...

You would need shackles that are 4" longer than the RC ones with your kit to yield 2" addittional lift if you are trying to get to 6.5". I dont think anyone makes a shackle that long. Call RC maybe the relocation kit is a better idea

I think I'm just going to go with the relocation kit and coil spacers. But now what else do I need for my front end?

Brake lines, sway bar links, and longer control arms...
