Default $ 2,700.00 + deciding on a lift = ?

I basically have $ 2,700.00 (Canadian) to spend on a new lift and I just want to make sure I do it right this time. I'm interested in a long arm and I'll need it to be atleast 4 in. I want the best possible amount of articulation and on road comfort. I'm sure this is quite similar to what most people look for in a lift, haha. Anyway... I'm curious what all of you would do with this amount of money to spend on a lift sooooo, lets hear it!

I should also add that I could probably go a little over my budget if I had to but not much.

Dirty mind when you should be a nice guy by helping me make the right decision! Shame! Haha, I'm kidding. I have a bad habbit of shouting out "that's what she said" when almost anything relates.

That would be amazing! But I couldn't find any info on Evo having a LA. Maybe I'm blind? Link me please!

coil overs alone cost 1600. just for the front add arms, well over 2700... then you need flip kits drag links and to do it right an EVO lever rear.... 10k and your not even talking protection, c gussets, arm skids. new skid pans for the LA system.

I have a 4" LA lift love it and it has done me well. I learned alot with it and now I want to upgrade to EVO coil overs and EVO lever. I will use my LA lift as a platform to build the rest. No matter what you have to start some where and add... Go LA wheel it and see if you want more. I did

If it were me, Teraflex 4in LCG longarm, can you weld? Are you planning on installing yourself or getting a shop to do it. Labor can kill your budget on a long arm if you can't weld.
