Default School me on where to buy parts!

My XJ. 1998.

So I've looking for a while and decided up this packaged set up (minus the AAL, I would upgrade to leaf packs):

http://www.rustysoffroad.com/jeep-su...-pack-kit.html

Thought it was a good deal till I saw the shipping cost ($400). So my question to you is what sites can you recommend for these parts or something comparable. Here is what I am looking for:

-3-3.5 lift (springs, shocks, etc)
-15inch wheel (black)
-31inch tires, (Dick Cepek FC II or something comparable as the Jeep sees all weather as a daily so I dont want MT tires)

I've used google and found several products, but I thought I would ask the experts for the best prices/products. Let me know if more info is needed.

Have heard if you call Rusty's that ship is cheaper than what the site shows, not sure how much tho.

Serious offroad, should be able to get any and all you need from them if you choose.
Dirtbound offroad, offer most of what you are looking for
DPGOffroad - will have suspension parts/shocks.
TireRack/tires.com/treadepot.com most of them price match, tires.com (which is discount/americas tire) offers free ship.
Depending on the shocks, there are LOTS of places to choose from aside from above.
Polyperformance, shockwarehouse, 4x4groupbuy, ebay, etc.

I'll give them a call and see if they will work with me. I calculated it that it would almost be cheaper to drive out and pick the parts up

If youre referring to shops, we only have one or two in Cincinnati and I have gotten a ton of bad customer reviews from both so I am to steer clear of them.

Serious Offroad for basically anything RE..
Or call Jason from Jeepin.com ask him if he can beat prices.. he may just hook you up

For gears: RWKHAUS seems to run damn good specials.

For fab brackets, DOM, etc.. barnes 4x4, Ruff Stuff, artec industries...all good.

The list goes on and on.
