only options are the superlift suspension lift.. or a bodylift.. just depends how much you are willing to spend... you could also get a set of 'prekeys' and get larger blocks for the rear....

fabtech makes a very inexpensive kit.
Camburg makes a very respectable kit!
Dixon bros makes a more aggressive kit for a 2wd or 4wd
a cheap alternative is to get yourself a fabtech spinal ($400-$700), torsion keys ($125-225) for the front and some basic lifting blocks for the rear with a longer shock ($100-$300). look around... you can do this for less than a grand. My buddy has the 08' sport ranger and it looks good with about 5 1/2 inches of ground clearance!

You can't use a spindle lift on a 4x4. So that rules out everything you listed except the DBR.

If you want 5" or higher, RCD or coilover conversion are your only options. BTW the RCD is out of production
