Body lift is the only option you have, they dont make anything else for your truck, on the other hand go to www.walt-n-ingrid.com and look at how Walt lifted his 89, but you better have mad skills, and some dough.

get some 2x3 steel tubing and cut it into 2" lengths and drill your bolt hole either direction and you can have 2 or 3 inchs in lift

Great advice kodiak,OR use 3" "boat" rollers,they are hard rubber,cut out the shield for the fan,add 2-3" rod to the "donward" shift linkage,get some hose for the gas fill,extend the t-case shifter ...that should do it!
