they went with this setup because its the only one available because we have no aftermarket support i mean if u just want an easy option get a drawing of a sfd strut adapter and make it 2in instead of 4 like they come with most kits and your done 2in budget boost for the front. Rear u can just a spacer made or do the wj springs but that will get u way more than a 2in lift in the back. But i used to do exactly what u were doing and i gave up on it but in essence its not us bowing down and lining up to spend money its the fact there is only three manufacturers that make lift spring 2 members that make spacers and 1 member who make the sub frame drop kit and unfortunately when u are trying to be unique with so few but highly dedicated members u have to pay to play. I mean u want something cheap and easy u can trade up for an xterra or 4runner u can buy a 2in lift for those on ebay or amazon for under 160 and be done.
