Default lift not enough

Hi I recently installed a 3" rough country lift kit with front coil springs and rear add-a-leafs. Once it was installed I realized that I wanted more lift. What are some options I have to adding to my existing lift without installing an entirely new one?

x2. thats about it. you might be able to find some block spacers for the rear, but that can affect the ride from what i hear. new rear packs possibly if your stock rear springs were worn out.....that may help, but if you were going to do that you could just order 4.5" lifted rear springs, and get a 1.5" front coil spacer for the front, you can get those from rough country for 260+ shipping, and put ya up to 4.5".....

Coil spacers up front, New Leaf springs for rear at desired ride height. Get rid of the aal's. I myself, cant see using them on already used leafs. JMO!

More lift without a whole new kit:
Best way - new leaf packs at the desired height and coil spacers up front
Okay way - shackles and spacers
Bad way - blocks and spacers.
