Only ones I could suggest would be Rubicon Express, Rough Country and Rustys Offroad...Other then that have no experience of much else..

Thanks everyone for the input. Right now I'm looking at a rough country.. I'll also keep my eyes open though at the junk yards, forums, and craigslist. Thanks again

Check into Black Diamond (owned by Superlift) decent kit that comes with new LCA's, they also make a pretty good adj. tracbar. I have had it for 3 years now. BDS is an awesome kit, but a bit more pricey.

From personal experience I would go with a 4.5" lift. I originally had a 3" lift and then after about a month I started making plans for going bigger, if you want to run it off road. It's a lot cheaper to go 4.5" the first time. I would recomend a rough country or Rusty's if money is a issue. They don't ride as nice as a Rubicon Express but at 1/3 the price I like them just fine. You can usually get them for around 500.

If price if a concern for the OP, that 3" is going to be the logical limit. 3" is the split where a lift goes from moderate price to much more pricey to get everything done correctly.
