It is not advisable to attempt to lift a unibody vehicle. Because of the extra height and the way unibody cars are constructed, you will notice poor handling, increased roll-over potential, and most importantly, a risk of tweaking the unibody/frame.

If you're looking to off-road on the hard trails, get a Jeep Wrangler and leave the Santa Fe for the logging roads. It's not a serious off-roader nor is it designed to be lifted like that.

Other than fabricating your own kit and some heavy custom work, there is really no option. Exactly what are you trying to clear?
