another lift question!
sorry guys, I know they probably get annoying after awhile 
, and yes, i did search the forum first. Anyways, I have a skyjacker 2" budget lift on the jeep right now with 31x9.50 TSL's. I want to lift it to about 4.5" and I was looking at rustys site and found a 3" lift for $438, which I can afford lol. Now, adding that 3" to my 2"(is it really 2" or is a 1 3/4?), im obviously going to need to call and ask if they could switch the shocks in that kit for the additional 2", and im going to get a tcase drop untill I can afford a SYE. Would I be able to run the stock LCA's and track bar for a while? Or is that something that I NEED to replace when I would do the lift? Also, how much would I need to shim the rear axle for that lift? Or does anyone have a smarter/cheaper way of lifting my jeep to about 4.5?
Thanks, Jake

imo try not to mix and match unless you ABSOLUTELY can't afford anything better. that way if you run yourself into a corner, you only have one manufacturer and one kit to deal with
