how high are we talking?
or better question, what size tires do you want? (willing to trim or not)
what kind of budget do you have?

PNP, and craigslist are your friend. Also get involved with your local jeep/rock crawling club. Lots of time ppl wil give you parts for help/sell really cheap when they move up in tire size

S10 bastard packs, V8 GC coils, Ford Thunderbird coils, Full size Chevy shackles, Budget Boost kits - all easy ways to lift your Jeep for not much money. If you're really looking for cheap, do the s10 bastard pack, v8 GC coils, and a 1.75" coil spacer. Should net you about 3.5" of lift for under $150. The s10 leaf packs and GC coils you can get from a JY/PnP for next to nothing.

Budget boosts arent a bad choice if you just need a little lift and there are various ones like a 1.75 inch from daystar for under 200 bucks without shocks. It all depends on what you plan on doing with your jeep.
