Save a little longer and buy a better lift kit like the Rustys 3" full leaf/coil/shock/hardware package $438 excellent quality budget kit that can be built on.

Agreed. With an updated suspension your vehicle will last that much longer. I agree a 2in. lift us very moderate but the issue is that your stock springs are worn out. Those shackles will only put more strain on the rear springs making them wear even faster and they can and will fail over time. If you have the money call old man emu, they have some great replacement springs that give you just the pep you are looking for. If not, rustys is a good place to go. They have some pretty complete kits like Fred said. Good luck!

Yeah 3 inch full springs front and back will be better in the long run.

Speaking from experience, save up and get a good lift. It will be way better in the long run.

If you are really on a budget, try to check out the RE lift -- Rubicon Express|4WO. They have 2" budget lift kit for a under $300. I know some guys here have this kind of lift. Others reported that it makes the ride a little bit stiff but overall they are happy with this kit.
