Default Extra lift..

I have a 4" rough country suspension lift. What other suspension parts would I need to get it to 6"? Keys are almost maxed, and I could get add-a-leafs but that would add 1.5-2" in the back (correct me if im wrong), so what would I put in the front?

Yea, but if I could find a way to lift the front then it would cost less for me, and would like to go all suspension.

the only real way to do it would be add a body lift. Which im not a fan of. Looks like sh*t if you ask me. cant stand stand them, cheap mans lift it you ask me. U could add leaves to the back and a torson key level kit to the front, but i guarentee you would have issues later down the road with that.

Bad move, you'll increase the CV angle too much, weakening them considerably. The right way to do it is with a body lift, won't increase the CV's at all. Besides, a PA 3" lift is only about $350, with the bumper relocation brackets included. All you lack is the gap guards...

4" of suspension with 3" of body lift is the strongest way to get 6"+ of lift height...

Nah already got torsion keys on it, and a 4" suspension..If I add add-a-leafs than it will max out, and I don't want a rough *** ride lol..But I found a 3" body for $370 tax free. I'm taking it .

No offense, but you know not of what you speak.
