get some skyjacker 7 in kit for a v10. they should give you around 9in. you going to need to make your own lift though by getting long arms and rear springs.

As far as I know there are a few 7-8 inch lifts out there. They're long arm conversions though.

SkyJacker makes a 7inch, and if you get one for a 2500 like tani said you can probably get a bit more out of it.

www.skyjacker.com

If you find one, take the part # and go to another site that carries SkyJacker. Then you can get a general price range for it.

Wiplash makes a 10" kit then again I wouldn't put a Wiplash kit on my truck as they arn't very good quality lifts. I'd go with a Skyjacker 7" kit and some either 2" or 3" Coil spacers depending on how high you want it. Or if you want 8" of lift a 5" kit and 3" spacers.
