depends wat year DD u have bro, 97-99 Tuff Country makes a 5.5 inch suspension lift, runs a lil over a thousand, for Durangoyears 00-03 Rancho makes a 3 inch suspension lift. the body lifts are far cheaper and easy to install, i think spending thousands of dollars to put on a 3 inch suspesnion lift is kinda dumb, if u can get the 5.5 id recomend it, body lifts are chill tho, make sure to get the gap guards in the front tho! u also have to do sum extensions on ur 4x4 extension **** w/ the body lift

bogger is correct but the pricing is alittle off
JC whitney has the Tuff country 5.5" for $1399 which includes everything which is nice but looks rather complicated to install for the average joe
body lift i have never been a big fan of simply because they stress the steering linkage and in some case you have to modify the floor for the shifter and the gaps between the front and rear bumpers
but thats my opionion and everyone has 1

What I would do, if you have a 4x4, is before spending alot of money, crank the torsion bars, get 2" up front, then throw 2" blocks to the rear, on stock shocks. A 2" lift is more then you would think. You just may be happy and you would probablly only wind up spending about $30-$50 for the bocks, the bar crank is free.
