Good budget 4" Lift?

I'm looking for a nice 4" lift on my '88 4Runner. I don't rock crawl or anything, I do some light off road trails and I'm looking for some nice ground clearance and most importantly, that badass 4" lift look. So, I don't want to spend a whole lot, because I don't have a ton of extra cash to bounce around, but I can afford to save up for a little while and get something reasonable. Any input is great. I'm fairly new to the lifting scene, so I'm not sure of the differences and what all I'll need.

4" rough country not to bad on price had about three years. Doesn't ride to bad and clears 35's with minimal scrub at full stuff.

Thanks. It looks pretty solid. I haven't heard any complaints with Rough Country.

1.5" balljoint spacer for increased travel, and 2" body lift. Very functional, and super cheap.

Don't do the Bj lift it's just bad all the way around. Yeah it's cheaper just don't do it.

Blazen8 has a great write up on why it's not a good idea. At least read this before you think about bj spacers.

BJ Spacer Install - Wham bam thank you Mam!

A BJ spacer is a bad lift??? Since when??? Use proper cutting tools when installing, and don't hack it up. Of course if you have a competing product on the market, you'd recommend against them too :-) Ball Joint spacer lifts increase the distance between the bumpstops and allows more travel, especially when combined with relaxing torsion bars a bit. OP, do you own research on the subject. There are thousands and thousands of trucks running around with bj spacer lifts with zero problems whatsoever.
