I don't know
Well now I'm at 4.5 with 31's but my plan is to get 1.5 coil spacers and 4.5 full leafs with my rc 1.5 lift shackles, lca drop brackets, a sye and 1 ton steering upgrade with some 33" km2's.
Does that sound right?

The added lift height is useless. Your shocks and brake lines will most likely limit you before you get any useful travel. I get plenty of travel out of my short arms because I have long shocks and stainless brakes and my 33's fit perfect with 4.5" lift and cut & fold
and you don't need 1 ton steering for 33's. ZJ tie rod works great.

6 inches of lift to clear 33's isn't gonna happen without some trimming. I don't know how your fenders sit now or if you want to do that.
I'm running Rough Country 6.5 inches of lift and 33 inch tires and I had to trim off some of the plastic on the flares to steer.

I'd rather not trim, and as I now I've never done any crazy trail flexing so I'm not doing any tire stuffing. if anything I'll trim the inside of the plastic / fender and bump stop

You're gonna have some trimming to do if you go 6 and want 33's
Maybe 32's will fit you better.

I'm running 4.5" with 33s and trimmed fenders up front an cut and fold in the rear. I will barely hit fenders at full flex. I have a guy I wheel with on 4.5" with 35s. He has the longer bump stomps to limit up travel as mentioned before.

Hey Atmos I probably sound like a noob but what is that bar that's coming from the top of your diff cover?

gotta trim dem fenders to roll on 33s. looking cool comes at a price, yo
seriously though, why are you opposed to trimming? is your jeep in mint condition or something?

trimming your fenders is soo easy. I just woke up one saturday and went out and did it. I didn't even search for a write-up on it
if you really don't trust yourself, meet someone local who has done it a couple times and see if he'll do it for a 12 pack
trimmed fenders are a necessity. how is your track bar looking btw? can it even handle a 6" lift
