you're not going to get more flex with any ifs lift kit. custom long(er) travel or sas are the only ways to get more flex

so you are saying no amount of lift will lift my frame higher off the ground for more clearance?

It does, but ground clearance is generally from the lowest point of the car which is the axle, not the frame.
