Patriot Gold Dual spring kit. It's only $255 for everything. Thats about as cheap as it gets for a complete dual spring kit.

Check out the Patriot Extreme Duals. Rated to .660 lift, it'll take quite a bit to "outgrow them" if that makes sense. I have and couldn't be happier (patriot customer service is great btw).

Either Patriot Duals or PAC-1518 Beehives. We have duals too, but not in a kit like Patriot yet.

I'm getting the MS4 and I'll be getting the Patriot Golds. I'm also on a budget so it will take me a bit to get them along with the timing chain and pump
