We'll need some info to help.
1. 4x4? 4x2?
2. Stock tires? Oversized?
3. Stock suspension? Lifted?

Immediately I'd suggest going up in tire size a little bit. I wouldn't go a whole ton but you could put a couple inch larger tire on there and that'll gain you at least an inch on the ground clearance. If you go too large, you'll experience gas mileage drop, lack of low end torque as your turning a larger tire, and possible transmission problems if you go freakin' huge on the tires.

How much ground clearance are you looking to get? I know my 4x4 has enough room for my fatass to get underneath the truck and change the oil without jacking, and it's bone stock except for somewhat larger tires.
