Trouble Stomaching Long Travel Price

Like many if not most of the people on this forum I've considered the possibility of converting my truck to long travel. My question is, can any of conversion be done in an iterative approach. From an objective perspective, I'm spending $x either way however it doesn't seem as bad if I break up the cost. Obviously an incomplete LT conversion is a mall crawler at best. What options do I have if I wanted to do this over the course of a couple months?
Could I do something silly like start with the stock pro coil-overs up front? Maybe wait to do fenders if I don't have 35" tires on there

 

Or you could just save up the money and buy it all at once, saving for three months isnt that bad.

 

that's why I said objectively it doesn't matter because I would be spending the money either way. I have the money to do it now but dumping that much cash all at once is mentally hard for me.

 

Buy the parts for all your mods and then leave them sitting in your garage for a few years. That's what the rest of us do.

 

I think this is my best bet.
