dream beams and coils ought to get 6" probably need bags for much more than that unless you only drive on an ice rink.
I've bagged a ranger to lay frame (on beams) should be similar. I moved the radius arms to the outside of the frame and moved the beam pivots out to widen the track to clear the bags against the frame on full drop. Notch the frame for steering and cut the inner fenders out move a few things up in the engine bay.
Be a cool project, don't see many of the obs on the ground.

A lot of people hate on the ibeams but I've built a few and had good luck.
I'd go with the DJM dream beams, when I did it last they were the best deal and worked well.
