Balljoints, bushings for upper and lower arms, steering stabilizer, sway bar links and bushings, heavy duty leaf packs, and shocks all the way around would be ~$350 delivered to my door (All from RockAuto).
Edit: I know my ball joint, ss, sway bar stuff, shocks, and leafs are bad. Not sure about the bushings, but those seem to be a "why not" while I'm doing everything else anyways.

My fear is that you go through all of that for stock height, and wish you would have lifted.
If it wont tow, add a couple s10 leafs to it to stiffen it. I tow a little and it does ok with the aal.
Fwiw.

The RC 3" lift, with complete springs is around 500. I've been looking myself because replacing all my shocks, saggy-*** rear leafs, weak front and weirdo front end issues. Its cheaper and better to go ahead and lift with the 3" complete kit than piece-meal it together.
My problem is patience! I have less of that than money....

My problem is I have to drive across the country for work this summer. I am just trying to get caught up with what appears to have been a serious lack of basic maintenance. I don't mind spending the an extra $200 if/when I lift it, say a year from now, to save $200 now and potentially create some driveline problems two three weeks before I move.
Once I graduate, I can actually afford to do some fun things with the Jeep, and I can give some poor college student a great deal on a set of stock stuff
I found the 'heavy-duty' leaf springs at Rockauto.com for $86/per side. I just can't find a lift kit that includes the basic maintenance stuff like ball joints and bushings for things. Am I not looking hard enough?
