not really...... you could add a leaf in the back but as far as the front you have to get a different control arm setup. unless you convert to a solid front axle..... IMO shouldn't of went the cheap way off the bat, with the 3in body and should of just saved for a 6in suspension lift.... just my .02

Add a leaf for the back I guess, but I wouldn't recommend in good faith any more block-style lifting, especially if you're stacking. Technically you can, I just don't trust it.

Unfortunately if you want more height it's gonna be some of the more expensive options to do it safely and effectively. You're gonna have to look at suspension, or dare I say it, body lifts. You can get looks-only suspension lifts that are significantly cheaper than those built for off-road performance.
