I would recommend piecing lift parts and make your own kit. Will be cheaper to pick up a spare leaf pack since you re going to build your own.
If you can tho, I would recommend picking up some OME full leaf packs/bushing +mj or other shackle. ZJ V8 upcountry coils or other coils of your choice.
Do you know what shocks you are going to use? JK rubicon shocks work well for up to 4"ish lift and can be had on the cheap. Otherwise I recommend Biltein51xx

You can get through the AAL, there are write ups all over the place. We can also help you through it
