Default Help me to decide about lift

Hi, i have a unlimited rubicon diesel lifted with a tough dog 2" kit.
Now, i would like to increase my lift and i have 2 choiches:
1) put the 1"spacers on my actually springs
2) change my lift with an OME 4" lift.
This One, could be required replacement of front and rear drive shaft? Maybe not? Maybe only THE front One?

I wait your opinions

4" is a lot. Depends on tire size you plan on running.
Generally 2-2.5 is fine for 35's. 37's with chopped/flat flares.

Over 3" especially on a 2 door both driveshafts won't last that long.

The front on either 2/4 door won't like the height and the added stress articulating off road. Caster correction also will affect the angle as well.

Teraflex/Rock Krawler or Metalcloak are my choices.

IMO if your thinking about a 4" lift go for it but like the guy above me stated there are going to be other things that need changing other then springs and shocks which I'm sure you know if you are seriously looking into 4" of lift.
