I know of 2 options in your price range from Rancho:
3" Sport Lift ($820 after $300 rebate)
1 RS66106B 3" Sport Lift
2 RS999329 RS9000XL adjustable front shock
2 RS999330 RS9000XL adjustable rear shock
Rancho 3" Sport System for 07-14 Jeep® Wrangler & Wrangler Unlimited JK - Quadratec
4" Sport Lift ($943 after $300 rebate)
1 RS66102B 4" Sport Lift
2 RS999331 RS9000XL adjustable front shock
2 RS999332 RS9000XL adjustable rear shock
Rancho 4" Sport System in Black for 07-14 Jeep® Wrangler & Wrangler Unlimited JK - Quadratec
I have an earlier version of the 4" Sport Lift with RS9000XL adjustable shocks and really like it. I'm running 315/70R17 Duratracs on M/T Classic IIIs.
The 3" will handle 35s with no problems. The 4" is good for 37s.

Wise move. I would suggest reading the installation instructions before ordering any lift kit to make sure everything you need is included and the installation doesn't require making irreversible changes to your frame or suspension. (unless that's what you want)
