You have several options. IMHO the best option on a budget is front spacers and rear shackles but that all depends on the condition of you rear leaf packs..If your leaf packs are sagging then shackles will flatten them out..At this point new leaf packs for a 2" lift is your best option. Also a consideration is will this BB be a temp lift or permanent. If you plan on going bigger and this is just enough to get you some lift then go shackles for ease of install then when you get a bigger lift get new leaf packs.
Some good BB w/ front spacers and rear shackles and this is just my opinion..
Teraflex: Can be found at quadratech.com
RockyRoad: at rocky-road.com I used this set and was very happy with it. Just don't order online call them you will get faster response.
Rusty'S offroad: found at rustysoffroad.com
All 3 places go for about $100 plus shipping.. Another option might be to step up a little more and get a 3" lift with new leaf packs and shocks. Might cost more but you will be happier in the end.

I am a firm believer in the J/Y budget boost using F150 front springs (no spacers) and a rear S10 bastard pack. Shocks from Monroe are the only new item that you need to buy. I put one on a 96 XJ about 4 years ago and gor 3" and it rode as good as stock. Had $50 in springs and caught the Monroes on sale at Pep Boys for $20 each installed.
Excellent flex and just enough to clear 30" tires.

Here is a write-up using my J/Y method and almost the exact stuff I did except he used Dodge rear leaves. And he made some discos for the swaybars IIRC. HERE
