Don't know about price, but the front torsion bars can wound up to give a bit of height. Down travel in the suspension will be lost though. Ball Joint Spacers are available to get some down travel back.

Another front option at about $2500 I think is the bolt on 4 inch lift for the front.

As for he rear, extended shackles and or reset springs will work. Trouble with the Lux, when is there is no weight in the back, its hard to get the rear springs to flex, unless you go for real soft ones then load carrying capacity is lost. In my case, I got real hard springs and installed an air locker to compensate for wheel lift.

No flex at all;
