Have you looked at OME lifts? Can get the hD springs and shocks, then add track bars, LCA's, bump stops etc as you go.

What size of tire are you wanting to run first?

You know that if you go any further than a 3.5" lift you need to add new drive shafts just to correct the geometry of your suspension and those will run you more than the $700. If you dont plan on larger wheels than a 35 look into a 2.5" lift and you avoid all those problems.

So then you can run a TeraFlex 2.5" or a 3" kit for 35's. If you plan on adding aftermarket bumpers etc, I would suggest one our 3" kits.

That would be great if there was a 3 inch teraflex that would fit my budget. I like the company but not the price.
