to look good, to fit biger tyres under, do you want better flex?
if you want to lift the suspension, there is no real checp way of doing it, just cheaper options brand wise. to do it right you will need a kit, 2" lifted springs, shocks to suit, bushes and ubolts
rubber bushes are far better, last longer, allow better flex and dont squeak.
imo dobinsons do a pretty good springs set up, run a twin tube foam cell shock for best bang for buck
cheapest would be ironman, but I wouldnt touch the gear with a 10" barge pole, but again i depends on what you want out of it
expect to pay around $1800 + install if you cant do it yourself for a decent kit

cheapest way is to reset the factory springs. Replace u bolts, bushes, shocks etc.
