The only think I can think of would be to remove the BL an buy a 4'' Superlift. I don't think there's any other way if you've already done the TT/Shackles and a BL.

i would love that but i cant get the kit here.:mad:
 


















i have asked the question and it will cost me double the cost of the kit to ship it to australia.
 






why would you have take off the BL to install the superlift?
 






if your mechaniclly inclied and can weld.....sas other then that your sol
 


















lol yeah SAS= solid axle swap...so you yould pull the front end out of a Jeep or a Bronco or something(most people use a D44) and then either weld up hangers for leaf springs and evreything.....an SAS will probably take you quite awhile to do(for reserach and part agthering) but it will net at least 6" of lift...search around there are alot of good build up threads for SAS's....
For leaf springs search for Section525, spas, 034x4
for coils BMXKing, stic-o
for coilovers Jefe,or Fatcat
Air Shocks, IzWack

Because it makes a stock suspensioned X top heavy and greatly increases the chance of rolling over.
 






i dont mind playing around with things like that as i have a second car,i might just check in to this and see what i can do.
 






Couldn't you mail a superlift a couple of pieces at a time? It seems like international shipping gets all bent out of shape over heavy weights, why not just keep the weights down and use multiple boxes? Or you could fly me there for a week's vacation and I'd bring it in my suitcase :D
