how about spacers. spacers compress the shocks but mine u that it does have long term disadvantages such as possible shock breakage. and ur ride quality will drop consiterabley

just get f150 springs or do the spacers the springs would give you a smoother ride than the spacers, spacers can be found at auto zone for about 8bucks

On my car I have a 2" lift on the back and 1.5 on the front with them. I could have went higher but I dont like alot of space between my tires and my fenders the ones you twist in its a cheap route but it works
