new packs

you could add an extended shackle, but then your aal will sag even more.

or you could add blocks, but then your axle will wrap and your aal will sag even more

Yeah you could put some MJ shackles on to get a little extra but in the end KTM is right you need new leaf packs.

If you don't want to do a serious lift get the Heavy duty packs from Quadratec. something like $140 for the pair.

Here's some 1.5" to 2" lift shackles for about $50 shipped...I would recommend these only if you can't afford new packs.

Get a heavy enough front bumper that would definately give the extra lift in the rear.
Sheeeesh. Tough crowd.
