novacayne will do one for 1300 and i think brandon at rides will to all they do is make loonger control arms and mounts and use your springs
 
With the shipping and shocks, that kit is at $3k without installation. You could do a lot more with less, IMO. If you really have that kind of money, pm some of the shops on the board and see what they can do.
 
Clayton has the best longarm kit on the market today IMHO.
 
Alright I will start by saying that you should call and talk to Clayton before purchase. I will stand by any and all Clayton products. They carry a life time warrenty on all control arms. I have their strech kit on my rig and it is a custom length. I broke their rear cross member! It was not the a design flaw or a poor design. It was NO ONES FAULT BUT MY OWN! I installed the rear crossmember without installing the mount to the skid plate as well. They sent me a new crossmember for 75 dollars shipped. That is more than fair for a $350 part that failed because of improper install. I will say that if I had not been on the road working in Nevada for 6months and the jeep in TN at the time I would have built the kit myself as I have done many time and will countinue to do for myself and others. That being said I not the time or the desire to build my own lift this particular go around and I had the extra cash. After much deliberation between Clayton, RE, Teraflex and Genright, I decided that Claytons was the most complete and well designed strech kit for the money. Note: I had coils, shocks, and 6 Large Johnny Joints already. My opinion is that the Clayton kit is well worth the money. That being said you can build or have built a very compairable kit. Just decide what you want and go with it.
