Post Alternate lift method??

Ok so i have an 07 F150. i currently have a three inch leveling kit with 35s but im looking for a more aggressive look without actually having to put a suspension lift on. i know i could go with a body lift but i think they look like *****. and i have coil overs so there goes turning up my torsion bars. but ive heard of another method....its an actual coil over kit. no not a leveling kit. its bigger control arms, new coil overs, spacers, basically the whole assembly. im not sure if its something thats custom made but i havent been able to find anything online about them so idk....any ideas how i could get a few more inches of lift without having to pay out the yahoo for it?

OP Zone has a awesome lift kit they are a sister company of BDS. They make an excellent quality product I had their 6in lift installed which only would have cost 2466.00 installed wheels balanced, alignment, and royal purple oil change. Something maybe to look into to..

He is talking about a kit like this http://www.camburg.com/tacomaP.html

They make a 13 travel kit for a F150 4x4 and 2 WD and add about 6 inches a lift with bigger longer control arms

you can buy upper control arms, but it wont lift your vehicle, you need a longer coil over with adjustability to raise and lower the vehicle. anything over three inches of lift you need to buy new front spindles. im pretty sure that no one out there makes spindles seperately. They only come in kits. i have upper control arms and longer coilovers on my truck. ive spent damn near two thousand dollars for just the two items. Dont think that method is gonna be very cheap.
