Total Chaos or JD Fab for IFS, ORS if you're looking to throw a solid axle under it.

Just so you know, don't expect to get away with one of these kits for under a few grand... Then you need to do fiberglass fenders then worry about the rear...

yep! any sort of coil-over conversion for an ifs truck is gonna be tha' bank. the TC kit is around 4000 all included- coil-over shocks, t100 axle shafts, etc.
as for the rear, i think a t100 rear axle with 3-4" lift springs and some cutting with custom flares would be a fitting swap would match up well. for some reason, I don't like the idea of the front wheels being farther apart than the rears.

If you really want to match a long travel front really well, you should look into doing a 3 or 4 link suspension in the rear.

With a little research and welding skill, you can even do it yourself.

LT front/linked rear would be super trick but you can keep it simple and almost as effective outback with leaves. 61" Deavers and an in cab cage you're looking at 21" of travel if set up correctly, with much less time and money invested.
