Default bds 3 inch lift

Hey guys i read another post where a guy has the bds 4.5 and he asked if he added longer springs would give him more lift. I have the 3 inch i really want to be taller and run 37's if i added different springs how much height would that add? i mean would it be overkill to add 6 inch springs to a 3 inch lift or would that not work? I just want my jeep to be taller and i didnt want to buy a new lift also if so what do you think are the best springs out there i currently have a Warn rear bumper and tire carrier and i didnt want the rear to sag. any thoughts on this set up or other suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Yeah, I viewed it a couple times too. I would think a 1 inch Body Lift would give you enough clearance to run 37", plus some trimming of the body at the rear. I don't know, though, I haven't done it or know anyone who has. I also figured I'd comment for you.
