You can either run spacers all the way around, buy new rims or add more material to the steering stop.

Personally, I'd suggest different rims.

Get the wheels and tires mounted and go from there.
X2 on this - and that's a real nice lookin' jeep, btw (you too, lowrange)

Three inches is really hard to do for less than 500 dollars.

x2 - you can stay around 500, but to go under, you'd basically be piecing together a JY lift - which ain't bad either, really.
