well then buy the 4.5" kit now and save for rims and tires just wait till you get the rims and tires to install the lift if you think it will look bad, and the tcase drop kit comes with the RC 4.5" and so do the relocation brackets for your brake lines

all you need is the base kit, you can always upgrade down the road when you have the extra money, thers no point in going 3" when your gonna wana go higher, you will be spending more money in the long run if you decide to go bigger, i was in the situation as you and i did exactly what i just told you and cudnt be happier
