Hello, i have a 02 kj sport which is currently dead. but after i get her back up and running i was gona do some moding :) And one of the things on my list is getting her higher off the ground. I was thinking of going with jeepin by al's 6" lift, but unfortunately i can't afford the high cost of those front struts.. and i really want a front detroit :) I currently have a 2.5" spacer lift on it. Im planning on getting the jba kit in parts just without the front strut assembly. now for my question, Would i be able to just keep my front spacer and just add the extended strut forks from RK which is 3.5" giving my front 6" lift total?? or is that not cool?

Simple answer Not cool.....
won't work unless you just like sitting and looking at it

On an 02,
then your springs are shot already
adding the RK junk onto it will only make things even worse than you have now.
CV's will hate you,
springs will hit the UCA's,
won't be able to get it anywhere close to aligned
ride will be like crap
other issues but I think you get the point
BUT you say well JBA sells a kit
Yes if you use the cut CVs
coilovers are smaller so less issue with hitting the springs
has other things added in which makes it so you can get it aligned
and other things
add a locker to what you have, do a full OME spring lift, good shocks and have fun for much less $$$$$$$$$$$$$
