welcome to the board.  are you dropping it down from 6" or putting in a 6" lift...cause if you are putting it in, what size tires are you planning on running cause even on 37's that's too much lift.

35s, And I'm lifting it 6". I should have been more clear, my bad. and the 6" lift was kinda on a whim, I found it for $700 brand new on craigslist. I ordered a 4.5 but I couldn't beat the price. 35s will be fine for now. When I 1 ton my axles, ill upgrade my tires. I'm already regearing.

Ok. Sounds. Good.  You are gonna end up a little tall but should have no issues around here where we wheel.  I'm just under 6" but have everything but time and motivation to lower mine down.

Welcome. The type of wheeling we do less is more when it comes to "lift".

Tippy spots where low center of gravity is helpful.

For mud and snow you can add all kinds of lift.  We stick to rocks and trails that are tippy.

Welcome. Ditto on mentioned, for 35's on a tj, most here run 3-4.5 inches of lift. Adding wheel base will net better results than adding height and ultimately fit a larger tire.
