    Without cranking in more lift by adding pre-load to the COs, I don't see any options. I suppose you could get a little more by going to a larger tire but that may also require adding pre-load and also some tubbing in the pinch weld area.

    Are you a 4x4?

    You should have loads of clearance with that lt. More than youd need for where a 2wd truck will get you.

    Engage Offroad long travel front and rear with some fat tires.
    what size tires are you running? what are you trying to get over that you need more ground clearance?
