little extra lift needed

just as the title says... i have a 4" skyjacker lift right nowwith 35" all terrains that are extremely bald, i have a set of 38" parnelli jones dirt grips that actually measure 37"s. i dont want to buy a whole new lift cause i was thinking about buying an 8" lift but i think i could get another 3" out of my existing lift. as of now i dont have blocks in the rear besides the stock 2" ( i believethats what came stock) so i bought a 3" block to get 7" in the rear. but im confused about up front. i also had bought a shackle lift for the rear but i was leaning more toward the blocks cause the shackle lift will lift it like 6 more inches when i would only like about 3 more inches. i believe i just want to block the rear but i dont know what to do for the front lift?? i dont want to block it unless anyone has an objection to that lol but i was looking for a little help on the front lift, i looked at all the brake lines an i will have enough clearance so i wont have to buy new brake lines or any of that stuff im just a little worried about the shocks being too short but i think they should be good, well thanks for the help in advance it is greatly appreciated. thank you

I know that Donahoe Racing makes a 3in hanger kit. If you all ready have springs, hangers might be the way to go. The 3in is what I have been looking at also.

You may be able to go with the 2.5" leveling kit that donahoe makes and the sykjackers for the front and go with the blocks in the rear.
