Default running out of ideas

2001 dodge ram 1500 4x4 ext 5.9l

im on a budget. im trying to get a suspension lift on my truck. i want 5" of lift. Im trying to spend $1000 on the lift and im having trouble finding that. I dont want tuff country, rough country, or anything of that sort. i want somthing that has a good reputation. I was think BDS 5" but there $1374 and im looking for something a little cheaper. I cant use a body lift beacuse of the welding parts but i was gonna get a BDS 3" lift but i need 2 more inches so any idea how i can get that??

Why don't you wanna use any of the brand name kits? (yes, BDS is good, but expensive. as is Fabtech...)
