Re: 6 Inch or 3 Inch Lift.
Air bags.
Air Ride Technologies developed an enlarged version of their Shockwave for the military so they can easily raise and lower the ride height of the vehicles for easy transport in the cargo planes, etc. I actually got to listen to the discussion on the development of it, particularly as they pitched the idea to a large off road suspension manufacturer who seemed to like the idea. Universal Air has a similar set up for the Jeep Rubicon suspension. It allows for a lift of around 4-6 inches for increased articulation when rock crawling. Basically its a coil over shock minus the spring with a collar to allow for an air back in place of the spring.
