6 in suspension help

Ok i was just doin some searcher and i saw that the skyjacker 6" doesnt work or somethin. Pretty confused. Could someone tell me who makes the 6" lift without having to flip axles and stuff. Dont know how to do that or spring over conversions or anything.

The 6" does work, its just not being produced anymore. This is speaking from my experience with the 6" lift, the coils were too soft to hold the front end, which has a winch and a winch bumper, up to a full 6". So I had to use the Superlift 5.5" coils and I am getting ready to put some spacers in as well. There are tons of people on here that have the 6" and are very happy with it.
As for the rear of the vehicle, the cheapest route it doing an SOA. Which is not hard at all! No reason to be scared. I did mine, and I was pretty apprehensive when I started, but after I finished it, I thought "That was not too bad". I mean, you can go the other route and get some arched leaf springs, but they are very $$$ and since you would be changing the leafs out, it would be just as easy to sit the stock leafs on top of the axle. All you would need are new perches. Or you could get the SOA kit from Skyjacker or Superlift which supplies perches that have shock mounts on them. Are you planning on doing the lift yourself?
 






yes i am doin the lift myself and i am willing to do the soa myself. but with the lift from 4wheelparts does it come with the back suspension??
 






Just get some of the antiwrap perches from M.O.R.E. They are much better than the Superlift ones. You can fab up some shock mounts if you remove the rear sway bar. Or you can buy some Jeep shock mounts from Warrior.
 






ok i dont even know what the sway bar is.
