New Truck!!!!

Ideas everyone. I just got a 85 toyota pickup long bed 4x4 and its currently got a 3 inch lift and 31's. I'm hoping to fit 35's but don't have much money to work with. I can't decide to go with a skyjacker or custom order everything so i can get the longer springs in the rear. Help me out with some wallet friendly ideas! THanks guys!
