Thinking about a higher Lift!!
I was think about a higher lift. Something like 4" or 4.5". currenty sitting on FT Ultimate 3" lift kit. My ? is should i go with SPACERS or with TALLER COILS for the extra lift. and if so what brand?

Sorry, can't help with your question... but something tells me that taller coils is more efficient, but thats just a guess.

When the lifts get taller, coil spacers can take up valuable coil compression room.
So - generally, if you want to go over 3" to say 5-6" or so....just sell the shorter coils and get longer ones, and use the money to subsidize the new coils. For a 4-4.5" lift...it really depends on if the coil compression has room to avoid being stuck with tall bumpstop extensions....you'd need the specs on the fully compressed coil length.
Plan C - Get ACOS adjustable coil spacers for the 3" SL....and fine tune the lift from 3" up to 5" or so, what ever works for that day of wheeling/fitting into the parking garage, etc.
Food for thought.

If its deep mud, for get the frame, get the diffs/axles up man! That's from tires ONLY, the SL will LEAVE your diffs dragging.
That's what anchors you in the mud...diiffs, so, what you REALLY want are the fattest, tallest, most paddle wheel type TIRES you can get under there, like Super Swamper Boggers, or LTBs, etc.....to churn through the goo.
