Found the Rustys 3in for $429, prettY good deal but $150 shipping! Basically I'd like to stay around $420 and shipping doesn't need to be $150 that's nuts. RC 2.5in for $409 without shipping and upgrade Nitro shocks for +$25, shipping to me is $89. Anything else out there? So roughly $500 for the Rough Country and $560ish for the Rustys.
Superlifts 4in is $60 more than their 2.5 but I'd need a D-shaft. Their 4in is $440 without shipping.

A YJ spring conversion is a good way to go, along with aftermarket lift springs. Many who have used Ruff Country say it's a really stiff ride, but they are affordable. Keep an eye out on craigslist, I found a set of new 4" Lift Springs with 1/2" lift shackles for $200. I've seen a couple more deals like that since I purchased mine. Check out Rocky Road Outfitters for YJ Spring Conversion. Don't know anything about Rusty's.

I sure wish BDS was around. Great lifts and no hang ups...

Even though you would get no warranty, I would buy a left over BDS spring in a heart beat. No worries.
