I bought Western Chassis parts from http://www.performancesuspension.com. Spindles will cost you more than springs on the front, but you keep your full suspension travel. You also can use stock shocks.

Western chassis has 2.5" spindles that can be used with 15" wheels. DJM and others have 3" spindles that can only be used with 15" wheels with some grinding on the lower control arms. If you have bigger wheels than 15s, you can use whatever you want.

On the back, you can go with shackles and hangers, drop springs, or a flip kit. The flip will give you more than 4 inches, though.

Try using the search. This question gets asked once or twice a month, so most folks are probably tired of answering the question.
