On a gasser you can go from 19-19.5 stock to 23 or so pretty easy,
with a CRD you are at about the max if not the max height even with cut CVs .
Good tires, good skids and a good driver does as much for getting places as an extra inch of height
As far as mine I am running OME 790 front coils and using gasser Frankenlift parts, gives me the height and also the strength to haul the ARB etc.
So back to your original question, people are not using spacer lifts on top of OME coils, well some have but it does not work well if you DD or off road


Or in my case a hair over 18in..

hhhmmm doesn't jba have a brackey/mount to lower the front diff or did i dream that up? b/c i thought that came with the 6in. lift...? if so you could lower your front diff 2in. (this is all theorhetoical don't tear my thinking up too much guys...) and that should allow you the extra inch and a half you want, you'll just have to get longer springs/ top strut plate...

We been over this a couple of times, I too have wondered if this could be done:

Lowering the front dif alone is impossible without another cradle. For the R&D and fab costs of a lowered cradle you just might as well throw it in the bin and mount an SFA.

There is however a cradle drop kit available from JBA. I think that's what you mean.

Here is the k frame drop lift: http://jeepinbyal.com/prod-JBA_Big_12in_KJ-640.aspx

But the time you buy one you might as well just save a little longer and get a SFA. Plus its still being built and not for sale.

What is the best way to accomplish these 4in? I have lifted mine 2.5in and im wanting to purchase some new shocks and other suspension components and was wondering what would be the most inexpensive route to go. Thanks

First what kind of lift do you have currently
Then we can tell you what to do

Well hate to say it but if you want more lift ditch the daystar since more than likely you're not getting even 2.5 inches out of it anyways.
Go full OME spring lift with good shocks and the extras and you'll get where you want to be
