you would need either the 2 or 4wd kit under where it says "COMPLETE FRONT SUSPENSION ONLY" $2563.00 and $1851.00
2wd is the same minus the custom axles btw.

If you are going to pay $3k-$4k, go with total chaos. Only for the fact that thats what they do, exclusively, developing long travel kits. Downey does it all. Nothing against Downey, but they aren't focused on that and it is a newer concept for them.

the nice part about TC LT kit is that it uses t100 axles that you can get over the counter. Downey makes you use their axles which if you break them you got to order them through downey.

Check out Duffco, I hear they've been around for a while.

You need to call to find out how much their LT kits go for, but you could probably work 'em down a little over the phone.

You can get the T100 axles from the junkyard for dirt cheap.
I don't think Duffco has a 4wd LT kit. Look at those pics of the lower arms from Duff and compare to Total Chaos. Chaos are boxed and damn stout looking. Chaos can take a beat down. I have seen it first hand.
How do you plan and making your rear keep up with the front? You going to run a shock cage inside the cab rear? You don't want the rear to pop on a jump when the front eats it up. It will throw your rear up in the air.
