Alright so i have decided to make a 6 inch lift by combining two types of lifts. A 2 inch budget booster and the rought country 4 inch suspension lift for 500$ ( can be found here: http://www.roughcountry.com/jeep-suspension-lift-kit-907s.html ) what else would i need to get other than a new driveshaft for this to work? Or am I okay to go ahead and do this?

You would really need to do a slip yoke eliminator with a double cardan rear shaft. I doubt you would be able to get away with fixed length control arms. You will also need adjustable trac bars to keep the axles centered. Without some tinkering with front trac bar placement you will most likely run into a bump steer issue. Getting into the 6" range opens up a can of worms, and you'll spend a ton of money addressing the issues you've caused by taking the cheap route.

Ill drill a new hole for the trackbar as rought country said. Will a skyjacker heavy duty steering stabilizer stop bump steer? Ill get the rough country cv rubicon rear shaft that comes with slipyoke elimnater. Andi may move the tranny down with the spacer brackets by an inch.

At 6 inches you will need adjustable arms in order to dial in pinion angles and to get the tires centered back up in the wheel wells. A steering stabilizer will not help with bump steer

Alright thanks for the info. I might just bump to a 4 inch skyjacker econamy or somthing. To give myself a total of 5 inchs of lift with my body lift.

Coming to think about it. You'd need 37 inch tires at 6 inchs. Im gunna stick with 33 or 35 size
