Default lift kit qiestion

Okay I got a Rancho 3 inch suspension lift installed but I want to go a little higher, the kit came with coil spacers and an add a leaf in the rear and lower control arm, my question is can I get bigger coils put on in the front and possible a bigger block in the rear? Only looking for 2 more inches all around

yes. easy way to get the 2 you want is get spacers for the front coils and then get a 5" block. the stock block is 3"
body lifts are not totally bad, but it makes u do more work with extending things. i used to have 3" suspension, 3" body, and 3" spacers up front on my ram. looked great with just the 5-6" but i wanted a little bigger. its a domino effect you will always want bigger :P

Would I be better off buying a whole new kit?

You can get diesel coils off another ram for 3" of lift, buy some 5" blocks from zone offroad or another brand, buy extended sway bar links or brackets, you can get a trackbar bracket from top gun customz, and get shocks of your choosing.

As for control arms, not sure if your 3" lift lower arms are longer than stock or what. If not, then you can make your own or buy longer arms from Spohn or elsewhere. Top Gun Customz might still be making longer arms per request, not sure call and ask.
