I think your looking at a front axle swap to go that high...I would at least. You could also go 8" suspension from skyjacker, and do the other 4" you want in a body lift. Other guys on here may have experience/advise with 12" on the factory TTB axle, but I wouldnt do it.

What on earth for? Never mind, none of my business. Try JBG. You will HAVE to do a solid axle swap (SAS) to achieve that kind of lift. But you are going to have to swap axles anyway unless you plan on sticking itty-bitty 36" tires under a truck with 12" of lift. The 9" (out back) might handle more unsprung weight than 36's but no D44 (TTB or solid) is going to handle anything bigger without breaking things left and right... especially when pushed that far away from the frame.
