I highly recommend you lift the Jeep right the first time (getting adjustable control arms, longer shocks & brake lines along with the adjusable trackbar) but you can do it with that setup you just described but it WILL affect your ride quality a-lot. At 5 inches you will need longer shocks but you could probably get away with some of these in the mean time...SHOCK EXTENTIONS

Hope this helps.
