Default need more lift... 2-3"... options?

Ok guys got a 12' FX4. Currently running a rough country 2.5" leveling kit. I'd really like to get another 2-3" of lift on there (no more than that). My question is: Is there anything else I can do to lift it that much... I say anything esle because I don't want a body lift and I haven't seen any suspension lifts smaller than a 4"? Anyone do something simple, like change the shocks and add a block/leaf? Thanks in advance

You can't go more then 3" without getting a full suspension lift. Your uca/ball joints won't take more then 3".

Nope, you will max out your ball joint at 3" and almost be hitting your coil already.

You can only go so far without dropping the lower control arms down like with a suspension lift.
