i have a 2000 jeep wrangler with a 4inch rough country lift and it sits unlevel in the front i want to just put a 2 inch spring spacer on it would that be to much and would i need to change anything going 6 inches in the front like the pitman arms or control arms or what about the track bar
 
Whats causing the front to sit so unlevel? Do you have an aftermarket winch bumper with winch? I would think a 2" spacer may be to much, maybe a 1" spacer. Do you have any pics?
 
I run 4.5" springs and a 2" spacer in the front of my TJ and it sits level. I have a stock front bumper and a Warn 8274 winch.
 
I am little baffled as to why it is not sitting level I have 4" RC lift in my TJ and it sat level when I installed it. The rear now sits a little higher due to I installed a 8.8 and the tubes are larger.

I might try replacing the front shocks but shocks are usually only good for about a 1/2 inch to a inch. Was the lift on a 4 cyclinder and is your jeep a 6 cylinder? That will make a difference.
 
Shocks will not cause it to be higher unless they are gas charged, and don't expect much from that, maybe 1/2" max.

Im running 4.5" RE springs with a 2" spacer in the front, Warn 8274 and 60" hi-lift on stock bumper, 4.0 under the hood. In the back I have an aftermarket bumper/tire carrier, softtop, no rear seat, but literally 200lbs of stuff, and a 35" wheel/tire on the carrier. I would expect the back to sit lower, but it doesn't.

And to answer the original question, you may want to get an adjustable trackbar to center the axle under the jeep, but the rest of the stuff (pitman arm, control arms, etc) are just optional. Since the lift is sagging in the front, you really aren't getting 4" of lift, probably more like 3", or, the back is sitting high and has 5". 4" of lift starts getting in the range of needing long arms, but don't buy them just because someone thinks you should, do it because you don't like the way the suspension works on or off road.
