JBA sells axles modified to sit deeper in the hub. This is supposed to allow up to 4 inches of lift by straightening out the axles a little. They also offer a "heavy duty" option with stronger CV joints. When my axles go out, I will seriously consider them. You would probably need that upper arms to go with it for the 4 inches of lift.
am not familiar with dropping the front differential. How tuff is that?
Deeper in the hub is not the problem as I understand it. The problem is the left side, drivers side axle is so short that if you try and raise it greater than 2.5 inches or so the CV joint will bind due to the extreme angle and parts break.
Not sure how much work is involved in dropping the front axle assembly to limit axle angle bind, but it has been discussed on this forum in the past so you might do a search and find some info on it?
If you can get T. Mudd or TJ to chime in, I know they are the experts on how much you can lift and what all is involved to go greater than 2.5 inches....
