to do it right things start to get expensive once you touch the 4 inch mark. seeing that you already have just a spacer and add a leaf kit. i suggest just starting over.

I bought a 3 in lift from rc wasn't enough so I bought a budget boost shackles and spacers now I sit at 5 inches and no more vibes than my 3 in but I'm still Polly gonna toss a tcase drop on plus you could always ditch spacers for 4 or 5 in coils oh yea also extended brake lines safety first

X2. Just start all over. If you are wanting atleast a 4" lift. There are a lot more parts you need to get. Get a complete kit. You will also most likely need to extend your brake lines if you plan on flexing. New shocks. Either an adjustable track bar, or drill a new hole in the track bar bracket. New lower control arms. Tcase drop or sye most likely. Bumpstops. Etc.

You've already taken the cheap route with aal and coil spacers. If you want higher your gonna be talking some $$. At least new coils, shackle at bare minimum but id suggest full packs, shocks, lcas, brake lines, shims tc drop or a sye. So your talking 600+
