The biggest lift I have seen for a Twin Traction Beam equipped truck was an 8 inch kit. I believe Skyjacker is the company that offers this kit, check out www.rockymountainsusp.com they should have what your looking for.

6" is as far as you want to go. more than that and you'll have some serious alignment issues.

for big lift do a solid axle swap

8 inches is too much for ttb...those drop brackets will put huge stresses on your frame and start cracking at the mounting points on the frame....hell ask fishy...his front crossmember on his 93 f-150 with a 6" broke in half, haha!
