Welcome!
Are you wanting to go for a cheep kit or not? If you are wanting to stay cheep I would just get a Rough Country or simmilar kit for around 400 to 500. It will have blocks and helper springs in the back. It comes with everything needed. Im not sure if just a 6 inch kit will clear 36 inch tires so you may need a body lift too. Anything over 6inch suspention will cost alot.

Use standard backspacing. As for lift brand, I would choose Tuff Country, as their spring rates are less than the Rough Countrys which ride RUFF!!! Check out Off Road Design, they sell the TC front springs for like $200, and the rears for $360.

I think I'm going to go with the ORD 4" flip in the rear and 1" zero rate and the front 4" TC springs and 1" zero rate and hopefully I'll clear 36" tires if not I'll go with 35" tires
