Adding blocks to excursion

So I have an 02 7.3 excursion limited its lifted 8 inches right now with a BDS lift. I'd like to run some bigger tires and rims so my question is this: Can I put 4 inch blocks on it without having to drop anything down? It has no blocks on it right now.

How do you plan to add the extra height to the front? Blocks are a big no-no on the front. At some point driveshaft lengths and angles become an issue, I'm not sure if you will be getting to that point or not.

That's what I haven't figured out yet. I've had one guy tell me to do a leveling kit with an add a leaf kit. Not sure if that would work. I'm basically trying to see if I can get above 10 inches without dropping a few grand on a ten inch lift.
