Default Lift suggestions?

Hi everyone, i'm looking for upgrading my current lift that consists of the upcountry suspension (about an inch higher) and a budget boost on top of that. I'm running 31's and theres not much room for flexing. I'm a college student and my jeep is my daily driver. So i'm looking for something that will give me some extra clearance but it can't be too costly. I was looking along the line of a rc 4.5 inch with new leafs, but i'm still looking for the best option, so if anyone has any suggestions that would be great! Thanks

Search is your friend oh newbie one.

On the ramen and sams cola budget you can do an S10 bastard pack in the rear, and early f150 coils up front. Hard ride but gets the jeep up about 4". Drill the track bar over about 3/4 to recenter your axles. Transfer case drop, if needed to relieve vibes. Youll also need to address your control arm length, and sway bar length. Depending on what you plan on doing with the Jeep or how much lift you actually get, you may need an extendes rear brake line and repositioned or extended front lines.

Or you can save up and get a kit.
