Just upgrade to long arm at 6" and go from there. You don't want to get to tall

x2. Stay at 6", but upgrade to la. It's all about low COG these days. Monster trucks are out, low with big tread is in.
It REQUIRES (haha) bump stops and more trimming and maybe more armor. But the cost of going taller is more than going stable!
