If you want cheap, for those tires, just clearance your fenders.
I'm running no lift up front, and just clearanced mine to fit 35's. No rub. You can check the build in my signature if you are interested.

32x11.50s can be ran with no lift and a little t-bar adjustment (without trimming the fenders). You can lift the rear to level it out if you want but it is not necessary.
There are a few pictures in the links in my signature. I did lift my truck later with bj spacers and an add a leaf later on pics are there too. Total cost for the lift was $178.
If you look around there is a ton of information on here about this type of lift and even people making their own bj spacers.

hey guys, just curious, i put bj spacers on my truck, i got em 1.5" but in a set of three to total that height but i only put in two of em. i got the alignment and everything and it's all good, oh yeah, i put in the spacers to level out the "Zuk mod" springs in the back. but it felt weird when you'd turn hard, like it's REALLY leaning more than it should with about 1-2 inches of lift and now that i'm driving in snow i have CRAZY under-steer!! i'm thinking about pulling them out but i wanted to know if anybody else has had these kinds of issues with b.j. spacers...haha, i said B.J.! sweeet. thanks for the info.

best BJ spacer info i've ever found:
http://www.4crawler.com/4x4/ForSale/...ntSpacer.shtml
something to be wary of, racer guys hate these and say they fail and cause wrecks. seem to hold up pretty well for rock crawling though. I do neither at the moment, I'm just a forum junkie
you could probably build some longer shackles for the rear, pick up some 63" chevies from a junkyard for pretty cheap (search for this), or do the zuk coil mod for even cheaper (search for this also).
