If you have to ask that general of a question you should prolly go with no more than a simple budget boost consisting of shakles, coil spring spacers, and shocks.

Do some research, though, you are the only one who really knows what you need and want.

I say 3" is a good starting point if you do full packs and coils. You can cheaply and easily move up a couple inches from there for cheap if you want to later. Plus 3" with 33's is a sweet setup. JMO

This is my plan. Its cheap to get 3", anymore and your looknig at a drive shaft and control arms and other suspension goodies. I pulled my spacers out for the 3" and Ill throw em back in when I have the money for the rest.

Figure out what you really need/want the lift for and then go here:
http://www.rockymountainsusp.com/jee..._lift_kits.htm

This page gives you a lot of options. You can see what all the different lift kits have to offer along with prices for all of them.
Old Man Emu, Rusty's, and Iron Rock Offroad are a few I can think of that aren't listed on that site.
