You can make your 2x4 walls into 2x6 or more by scabbing on additional wood to existing studs .
1. You have to add/increase your attic ventilation . Without it you are fighting an uphill battle .
2. If you add soffit vents and a ridge vent you can add radiant barrier to the roof structure . As an example if your roof trusses are 2x4 stapling radiant barrier creates 3 1/2" troughs for the cool air ( relatively ) to enter the soffit and exit the ridge . The barrier also radiates some heat away from the attic space .
3. Can't stress enough about sealing all leak paths . Any leak path allows heat/AC to escape and be replaced by what you are trying to " condition " against .
