actually. that's about it.. bigger diameter wheel/tire. There's no aftermarket parts, AFAIK to raise the box.

whatever the matter longer struts are in order go to a suspension company and get something made tehn all ya gotta do is get another susp company to make longer springs, try fabtech or something along those lines.

Its used for sound off comps and not meant to be driven on the street, let alone the freeway. The axles are chain-driven, much like ATVs.

Depending on the amount of lift, minimally, you'll need longer lower control arms, longer shocks front and rear, longer springs, longer half shafts, camber plates up front to reduce the positive camber should the lower control arms not be log enuff, longer brake lines, a skid plate for the rear beam axle, a skid plate for the gas tank, a longer e-brake cable, mods to the steering rack, and who knows what else. And that's just the major stuff off the top of my head.

Damn, should've looked into it a little more. I thought they were getting all nuts and throwing an xb body on a jeep chassis, or something to that effect. Either way it looks cool.

You can try finding coil spring spacers like this

http://performancelifts.com/cgi-bin/cart/CSEC161GM.html

This may work even its a little ghetto but they are sold in every auto parts store under the sun

Coil Spring Boosters http://store1.yimg.com/I/whitespitstop_1843_3067853

Good Luck

problem is the shocks arent long enough to allow much length change.
