Seriously though, for that much lift in the front on at 4wd I think you'll need something custom or one of the 4" kits. I've just heard that the 4" kits are kinda weak and only help to fit larger tires, nothing else.
There is a lot that can be done to improve flex. First, swaybar disconnects. There's also longer shocks, extended shackles, zimmermen mod, etc.. Just because your x is spring under doesn't mean it can't flex (I have seen spring under setups flex beyond 1000 RTI). The main reason a SOA setup can flex better is because it moves the tires further away from the body, allowing them to travel further up without contacting anything.
