Why do you need to go higher than 4.5"? If you're at that height you are probably on 33s, and you should have already addressed your steering.

If you really want to do more to it, work on getting the axles beefed up. A locked and geared Jeep on 33s will do just fine for what you're going to find around here.

Agreed. Stay at that height and beef up the steering. Look at losing the drop brackets for either long arms or adjustable arms.  Get some flexy springs for the rear.
