Im considering going from a 4in to a 6in lift. Would i need all new parts and shocks or could i do an add-a-leaf or block in the back and new coils up front???

you can put the 2" blocks in back or do the add a leaf. you would probably need new U bolts and new shocks. the front end is the problem. 6" coils you'll ned to drop your TTB suspension mounts down also or else you're wheels will be pointed outword. but if you're running 35's and you plan on running them in the future I'd say do what you have to for the 2" increase on your lift.

hope I helped probably all information you already knew

The back is the easy one, 3 choices blocks, add-a-leaf or all new leafs. The front is were most of the trouble comes in. Depending on the 4 inch drop brackets you have you might have holes for 6 in also with it. If not you are going to want to buy the drop brackets for the 6in lift. If you try putting 6in lift springs and shock in the front your tires will lean out and alignment is a huge hastle and you will go through ball joints and many other expensive parts very quickly, along with a poor ride quaility. The best I can tell you go to Jeff's and purchase the 6'' lift brackets. The standard 6'' lift runs $490.00 includes the brackets, add-a-leaf and coils.

Best of luck to you. Hope I helped alittle.
