Default Need help with lift....

I have been running a 2.5 inch tf coil spring lift. I am ready to get a bigger kit. I have been running my 35s on this setup it just isnt big enough for what I am doing. I am having problems with the tires rubbing when I am really pushing it. I am probably going to run 37 in the future. Well I am I already have them in the garage. What I am trying to find is a kit that is not to costly. I dont want a long arm kit because I dont want to pay 3500.00. Is there good combination that you guys have found to put a good kit together. Is there something that you would reccomend to me. I only want to spend about 1500.00 on it. I know thats not much but this stuff is eating my budget big time. Please let me know if you have any ideas... Thanks a million...

P.s If anyone knows of anyone getting rid of a setup and upgrading let me know.

Chop your flares and add on a 1" body lift and some more bumpstop. People are running 37's on that setup now.

TF 3" kit should get you somewhere in the 4-4.5" range, then chop the flares when the 37's go on if you need to.

Lots of options, just depends...
