Yeah, I know but these folks like to cut every corner.

1500 gets a cheap *** lift kit and some used tires off of craigslist.

X2, you will spend more money fixing an rc kit than you would spend buying a rubicon express kit.

Agreed. For 4.5 lift and 35's Ive got $1500 in suspension and another almost $1500 in tires/wheels.

4.5 and 33 will save money for sure. Or go 3 and 35's like a boss

TY!!!

How about these for the front?

And these for the rear?

Not necessarily, here's my lift and tire costs (so far)
3" Rusty's w/full leafs an adj LC $770 delivered
5 31X10.5 Grabber AT's $800 delivered
5 15x8 Jeg's Baja 8's $243 delivered
That's $1,813 including a full size matching spare and paying Rusty's way too much for shipping! If you drop the fifth tire and rim your at $1,600, leave the arms out (I don't recomend it) and your at $1,400 for a decent sent up.

I had 3" unknown coils, 3.5" RE leafs, new IRO double shear track bar, JKU Rubi shocks, AWC 15x10s and new 33x12.5 Duratracs. Under $1k for everything.
Patience and Craigslist.

Edit: Even with pizza for the lift party, replacement hardware, and shop fees, I was still under $1k.
