Why are you lifting. For looks only or for real off-road capabalilty, or for something in between. The answer to that will determine what sort of lift you should get (i.e. spacer or coil springs only versus something with heimed control arms and sway bar disconnects for example).

Try Rough Country, they have a 3" with springs and shocks for $600, but beware of rusted bolts as that was my biggest problem with the installation. Everything fits in nicely though. http://www.roughcountry.com/dodge_4wd_94-01_3.html
