Question Mixed Lifts

I have the RCD suspension below:

RCD 6" Lift

I didn't install it myself it is a new thing a lot of the dealers in San Diego are doing to entice people to buy. Unfortunately I am still learning what exactly I can and can't do.

Is it possible to add some new spindles to this kit and that would raise it a little more? I am not doing any major offroading in it as you can see it is 2WD. Basically it is just a looks thing. Being in the military I am on a tight budget or I would just get a nice 12" suspension lift and be done with it but the one I want is $15k installed which is quite excessive imho.

Any opinions/help is greatly appreciated. If you know of a good 12" lift that isn't outrageous post a link to it please if you think that would be a better option.

yeah, you can get spindles and a- arms if you don't have them already, and for the rear end you can look up National Spring Co. in Santee, Ca. They can make you some custom rear leafs so the ride is level and you have the right spring rates for your application. Heck, they might be able to help yu with your coils too if you want. The people there know what is up pretty well and will be able to help you with any questions youmight have. I would strongly suggest you do not use a 12" block though. Bad things would inevitably occur.
12" huh? whatever you like, i guess 44s would also be in order...
