If you are trying to save money, build your suspension yourself. If that's not an option, wait until you can afford something that doesn't involve the name Rancho/Fabcrap/Rough/Tuff/China Country. Patience is well worth the reward of saving the $$$.

Are there any lift manufacturers that you DO recommend?

No brand name manufacturer makes a good lift. They don't spend millions of dollars designing, testing and, manufacturing lifts that have to meet a laundry list of safety and reliability requirments. They don't have their lifts on competition rigs in every type of off-road sport. Their lifts aren't found on hundreds of thousands of off-road trucks and jeeps that get used and abused far worse then most people on this forum would ever attempt, and have them outlast the trucks and jeeps they are on.

Yup, only homemade lifts are any good. Like some of these for example:

The black Dodge was built by Top Gun Customz I believe.
