Get a spacer/shackle boost. Around 100 bucks.

The shackles. Just get which ever brand you prefer/afford and get the amount of lift ones you want. I think most brands will perform the same just cost different. Just hit google up and check out some of them. I'm sure you'll find what ya need fairly fast. May check out rough country or rustys. Not priced to high
