fit a 2" spring lift kit... you'll get longer coils and shocks and should see improved handling and articulation. Then chuck on larger tyres to fill the newly created void in the wheel arches.

then its off to custom fabrication land for you! =) you need longer control arms (and stronger ones) to accomodate the larger than 2" springs.

Bang on the mark... a cheaper but good example of this is sam,s little coily, its not extreme but it works and is a decent price.
