restore body, 3.5in lift, 31x10.5r15, roof basket, front bumper w/winch and maybe a rear tire carrier... so far i put a cold air intake 4 a Honda civic in it and fixed the floor boards. I'm looking for a pair of inexpensive leaf springs (stock) so i can do just a shackle/ spacer lift I'll do more when i have more $$$

you could always get rubber spacers for the front to bring it up. i got 3 inch spacers on my jeep an when it was just the spacers and stock springs it felt like i was driveing stock but gave me some lift.
