Idk man I think 8 in is alittle too much for what I want plus I could probably fit 35's with 6in's of lift and trimmed fenders and bump stops

So I guess a bb is what we call a poly-lift. 2" spacers and longer shocks basically. Lines or brackets as needed.
Thanks.

You don't think the jks trac bar is as good as the one in this kit?

you need longer track bar with adjustment to recenter axles by the time you buy a rear one that will work with 6 inch lift assuming the front will work with 6 inch lift it cost less to buy kit then resell what you have now ...imo...

The front is adjustable so maybe they will let me get a rear instead?

i dont know about on a wj but on my xj, i run a 3.5" kit with adj. upper and lower control arms front and ajustable lowers on the rear and i also have 2" bb in the front and a 2" add a leaf in the rear, and I had to run adj. track bars front and rear I agree with freegdr, just buy the right kit with all the parts you need from the get go, you end up spending more trying to do it cheap

You should be fine with your front trac bar. I would contact IRO via phone and order your kit. See if they can sweeten the deal by subtracting their front trac bar and adding in the rear one as you need that one. If not buy the kit and sell their front trac bar.
