Best way to get a little more lift without swapping entire lift kit

i have a skyjacker 4.5" lift on my 1992 xj and it just doesn't have the lift that i want. i can trim fenders quite a bit more but don't really want to. i was thinking about adding some RE shackles. what do you guys suggest?? any help appreciated. thanks

Some shackles and spacers will do what you want done.

I like the Teraflex 2" BB. It's more expensive than other BBs ($130) but Teraflex is a good brand and its a good kit. The shackles are greasable and have center supports which make them pretty strong.
