there really aren't any "cheap" leafs that are worth buying. expect good leaf packs to cost around $150/side, excluding the bushings kit and shackles if you need those too. t-bar crank is free, just remember to get alignment after to correct camber.

one of the top brands for leafs across the globe is the ARB/Old Man Emu Dakar leaf springs. They come in medium and heavy duty. HD is more for fully-loaded safari rig and is quite stiff I hear. Medium ends up settling to lift about 2" over stock height. On my 93, it was quite a big jump initially, when compared to saggy-butt it was previous, but settled nicely. Ended up at 22.5" in rear (center axle to bottom of fender) with stock shackles.

front end you can do t-bar crank of stock t-bars, stiffer/thicker aftermarket t-bars, bj-spacers, and bracket lifts to gain height. generally you have around 0-3" you can adjust with t-bars and/or bj-spacers. bracket lifts are a fixed 4", but you can still play with t-bars after.

research here on YT in the IFS lift guide.
