1"-1.75" Coil Spacers w/ Existing 4" Lift - Any Considerations?

Well after a few weeks of thinking about it and posting on this and several other boards I think that I've found my solution.

I want to add 1.75" coil spacers to the front and 1" coil spacers to the rear. This will both give me another 1" of lift and level out the height difference between the front and the rear.

I currently have the Skyjacker 4" Suspension kit on there now and I need a bit of help and advice before I add th spacers.



Here is what I'm pretty sure about: The Skyjacker 4" lift didn't give me any more than 4" of lift, and due to the large tire on the rear tailgate and heavy bumper and soon to be winch on the front may have given me less than 4". This is good because I shouldn't have to worry about replacing driveshafts (I have the 4 door) and shocks.

Here is what I'm not so sure about: Will I need to get new sway bar linkage? Right now I have the ones from the Skyjacker 4" kit on there and I'm not sure if another inch of height will make them obsolete. Are there any adjustable disconnects or would I be better off getting links made for 5-6" of lift.

Thats about it. What else have I forgotten to take into consideration?

I would think there would come a point where you would want Long Arms, or adjustable control arms, at a minimum. There are far more qualified people than I that could confirm or deny, but I'm taking a crack at it and am curious to know the answer as well. 6" of lift with the stock ones starts to create quite a different geometry under there I would assume.

The more I think about it, it starts to seem like more hassle than its worth.

Now I'm thinking I could accomplish the same 'result' by just doing the 3/4" to level the front, then doing a 1" BL, and 37" tires. That setup would work just fine no questions asked.
