LQ4 Piston ?

Has anyone found a hypereutectic piston for the 6.0L that has a slightly larger dish in it. I would like to end up with 9:1 with the 317 heads I have. No power adders being considered. I just want a slightly lower CR. Thanks for any help.

Actually,you can achieve a 9:1 just by changing to a thicker head gasket. I would use a compression calculator to be exact.

I should have mentioned the engine needs to be bored anyway so I was looking at pistons that might lower the CR a little. Thanks for the thick head gasket idea.
