    going to a drop bracket style lift or solid axle swap...both of which arent really considered "cheap"

    if you do a body lift...buy the ultimate kit from 4Crawler

    I don't think you could go any higher suspension wise without new ucas. if you're gonna SAS anyway just leave it for now... Trust me it looks fine.
