then you are not looking for the best lift kit. you have a very small budget so in turn are going to get a super cheap product. save some more and buy a good kit. only kit in your price range would be a RC lift. search around for RC lifts

if you have only 300 dollars to spend on a lift. then go with rough country. many many people run it and love it. Yeah some people have to replace bushings, but all you do is call rough country and they'll send you new ones for free. All up to you and how much you want to spend

There is an inexpensive 3.5 inch kit which I bought for $290.00 with free shipping. ( Tough Country) Was easy to install. Shocks were extra. Here is how it looks with 31's. It's an OK decent lift for trail riding. But for more extream off roading I wouldn't recomend it.

I'm saying, if you lifted the rig up 3 inches and never (or almost almost never) used the vehicle off road your springs and leafs would never know they could travel that much.
I'm thinking out loud here...I don't really know a darn thing. But my 97 will get an inexpensive lift because it will almost never go off road.
Canoe58 got a great look out of his '96 that way.
