It looks like your school has a big enough lift to get it that high already. How much bigger of a lift do you need? 
If you actually want to lift it that high with a suspension lift.
The cheapest route would be to locate a used monster truck. Buy it for $50k plus and then swap your Jeep unibody onto the monster trucks frame/drivetrain. Done.
Honestly the list of modifications necessary to correctly lift your Jeep that high and still have it drivable is ridiculous.

That much gap with 31" tires; 5 inches sounds about right.
