Just stick with the 40mm lift. Any more and it starts to become a waste of time sticking with the rest of the stock parts.

just get the 40mm kit, if you still want more height get some coil spacers.
you will be able to fit 30s in easy with 2"bl and 40mm sus.

oh no here comes the search nazi but… Have a bit of a look through this section, also check out the Sierra Bible there maybe stuff in there as well. Also do a bit of a search as there have been a few discussions on this in the past. The Coil Sierras are very limited in their design and as such lift options are few and far between.
There is a buildup on one called Trogador I think worth checking out

you can get a ultima 40mm lift kit of ebay comes with the front struts and rear shocks using king springs about $600 i think.
i think munroe also make the shocks and struts as well. pedders do make springs for them.
