Not going to have much luck on that. There is some pre-runner stuff for the 1/2 ton 2 wheel drives but for a 3/4 ton you will have a hard time. You could do a 3" body lift. Rear you could do 4 wheel drive spring hangers which might get you like 3-4" suspension lift.

Other than body lift for the front I have airbags that go inside the coil springs that gave it a couple of inches higher, it should be enough to clear the tires.
I bought it and never installed it so I can't tell you how good it is.
I can guarantee it will make it a firm suspension.
The rear has options since it is a leaf spring like the 4x4
 
Years ago J.C. Whitney sold lift kits for 2wd trucks ,the kit had longer coil springs and ball joint spacers,but I think it was only a 2" or so lift--it'd be tough to raise a 2wd up any higher up front..the kits must not have panned out too well,I haven't seen any in years--or maybe they just didn't sell enough of them to feel it was worthwhile too ?..
 
nope not out there much at all . and searching you might find some super old threads on other forums and or major hodge podge of parts to get maybe 3" suspension .

and forget coil spacers for 2wd they can be real hard to get in if you dont have the tools and they make them ride stiffer . also the higher the spring on stock parts the more the angle is on ball joints and kills them faster .

How tall is it now? My 1990 3/4 ton burb sits as high as 4wd with a 4" lift.

Some night time reading material. You might be ahead as you already have a 3/4 ton. Clicky
