Question Lift to All terrain height?

Is there a solid aftermarket option for adjustable suspension that will allow me to get the lift/height of the newer E450 All-Terrain models? Or even slightly lifted - I daily in the northeast and winter and this may be the worst car i've ever owned in snow - with blizzaks.

I found my '13 E350 to be rock solid in the snow (Continental Viking Extreme Contact or something like that, similar but not as good as Blizzak) but the height... Oh my god the height was lacking. Beware the slushy road. We live on a dirt road that gets plowed but spring dropout conditions left me wondering if the wheels were touching ground or not.
I traded the car for an ML350. Miss the comfort, but not the low-to-the-ground ride.
