Presuming it's a coil rear, find some stock GQ rear springs and wind your front torsion bars. Trim 10mm off the upper (droop) stops to help restore a little travel. Do NOT trim the large bottom (bump) stop - that's the one which needs to cushion the weight of the vehicle on crash landings.
You'll need a decent front wheel alignment, which will probably require shimming the upper control arms to restore camber. This should be the most expensive part of the lift.
