Rock Rails. Rubicon take offs maybe. Sometimes Craigslist can be your best friend.

Don't just throw stuff on it. Develop a plan and build to the plan as you can afford it.

Do you plan on offroading it much? If so, the Rubi rail takeoffs from CL or in the For Sale section are great for the price (most) people ask. Also an evap skid or relocate kit. (Ultimate low price, move it yourself for free).

Don't do a body lift.... stay with a complete suspension lift. If you get the Teraflex 3" kit with the shocks you actually will end up with 4.25" of lift. (and that's on a 4 door!)

Take the suggestion from the thread and know what you want to do with it and build it accordingly. Before you do anything you should have a plan. If it is in your plan to cut the fenders then you should start there. This will save you money and time in the long run.
