Thumbs down Help adding more lift to what I've already got

I have a 3" RC lift with the full leafs and front lifted springs, but want to go higher. I'm looking to go another 1.5". I'm in college and on a budget. I've seen around people using the spring spacers and shackles to get an extra boost. I'm not sure how that would be on a DD. Any input is helpful.

I'll probably go with the SYE and longer LCs and an adj. track bar but I just want to keep it streetable at the same time because it's my only veichle

I think 4.5is as high as you want to go with a DD.
