Getting More Lift

Currently I have a 3" body and a 3" suspension is there any other way to get more lift? I really wanted a bigger lift but the place I got it done failed to mention the other available brands that had bigger lifts.
I want maybe another 3 or 4 inches any ideas???

Thanks

What kind of vehicle do you have? Fill out your signature that way we all know what kind you have any any mods done as well.

Airbags will be a fully custom setup on a Ranger. Edge_wannabe did a custom Solid Axle Swap, I don't know how much lift it is tho.

you can get air bags to work with what you have... eliminate torsion bar, make bag mounts, new shock mounts... not worth the $ and effort unless you are going custom and BIG

Hey thats a great idea... I wouldnt have thot of that. Thanks but see I gotta price it to see how much mine will sell for (its about a year old) and see how much the bagging will cost.

If i do that I will want a biggggg lift like ten inches at least. is that do able??

you could buy a used trail master kit ~4 inch of lift (or new) its made for 4wd, BUT, i dont think anyone ever found a reason why it would not work on a 2wd, even with spindle lift

no one actually has spent the money and tried it tho...

Anythings do-able it just depends on how much time and money you want to put into it. If your going for max life I would keep the body lift and rear lift components, sell the front and then SAS that pig.
