My buddy got the Teraflex 2.5" kit and got almost 4 inches in the front and about 3" in the back. I ordered the same lift but haven't installed it yet. I'm going to get an adjustable front track bar and rear coil spacers to keep the rake. Hopefully next month!

Just springs and shocks? Nothing else?

theres nothing "thifty" about any lift over 3". dont get caught up by looking at the bottom line price, you will end up needing/wanting additional parts over 3". as Joe posted, the 2.5" or 3" teraflex kits are probably one of the best bangs for you buck. the only thing you will want additional with the 2.5"kit is an adjustable front track bar. for the 3" kit, you'll want front lower control arms and a front track bar.
for any 4" kit, you will end up wanting all 8 sets of flex arms, front track bar, brake line extensions, front and rear drive shafts, drag link flip. you wont need these items immediately, but expect to need them at some point, especially with an automatic.
