As a general rule, for leaf-spring-suspended Jeeps, the higher the lift, the more problems you are likely to run into, such as steering, driveline angles, etc. So you will likely run into more of these problems with a 6" lift than with a 4.5" lift.

What size tires are you planning on running on your YJ?
