Sounds like you need to go bigger. Some people like small 3" lifts and others crave bigger lifts. Seems like you're the latter of the two choices. So instead of crying over spilled milk just go out and get yourself an RCD 6" or the improved 5" Tuff Country.

Looks pretty jacked up to me- I was the same way at first with my 2.5" spacers- kept wanting to go higher, but to go higher means a LOT more money. Put bigger tires and it'll make all the difference.

I can tell. 3-4 inch lifts look stock until you get bigger tires.
