Best way to lift 6 inches?

FOR THE REAR:
I want to go with either the DIY or ORD shackle flip and 56" spings. How would I get the other 2"? I have 2" blocks laying around which means I can get some junkyard springs. I also could probably get a longer shackle and 1 inch zero rate block, that would actually let me relocate the axle. I suppose I could always get some new springs with 2" lift...

FOR THE FRONT
I don't think I have many options other than 6" springs, not very fond of the result but the effort and cash outlay is appealing. I like the idea of going with a new spring mount and 52" springs (DIY has them, is there a real DIY thread out there for this?) but that seems like a work and more cash which I don't think I'm into right now. Plus that only gets me 4" which means I need new 2" springs.

Anyone have some suggestions? I want to run either 39.5" or 41" IROKS without a nosebleed lift.

Any feedback on ORD vs DIY?
