6" lift?

Im about to put a suspension lift on my 94 silverado. It already has a 3" body lift and i wanna go big. Im pretty sure nobody makes a suspension lift any bigger than 6" for IFS. I wanna go higher than that but i dont want to do a straight axle conversion. Does anybody know if theres any componies that make alift more than 6" for IFS and or is there any other way to get more lift out of the truck. All info will be greatly appreciated.

I am pretty sure you can go bigger, I just saw an ad in a magazine for a 9" lift, I think there are a few companies making the big lifts, not sure the names, maybe whiplash or something along those lines.

cognito motorsports makes a 10" and a 12" for your truck. Full throttle suspension also makes a 6.5 ,9.5 ,and 12 for your truck.

i know you said you don't want a solid axle, but it might be cheaper to get a conversion and lift springs, but this is just a suggestion.

Well i had originally planned to GO WITH THE STRAIGHT AXLE CONVERSION but i thought it would be easier to just put a lift on the IFS. I just wonder about the IFS holding up to the big tires.
