I got a quote from a builder on my SAS D60 and he told me it could be done under 5k out the door. Which isnt bad considering gearing would cost about $1500 alone.
Another thing too look at is that the IFS with that size tire is gonna break. Probably the first time you really GET ON IT. The D60 isnt gonna just break they can be broke and ive seen then break but its really alot tougher than a 8.8 IFS.
The easiest way to do it would be leaf springs, they are strong and really easy to work with. Theres also a fairly unlimited amount of lift just determines what size springs you get. Or have custom made.
The best thing to do like CODE said would be to 4 link it. with coilovers. I honestly would say i like the leaf springs for mud less to worry about. But if im rock crawling im gonna go with something else.

OK well if i were to go with the IFS i know for a fact i would be getting new gears. Now that said what size gears 5.13s? How would those work out?What Would i need to do anything with my tranny or no? Should i just see about pricing on a SAS or go with the rize 12inch and try and get them to custom make a 4 link for our trucks if they dont already make that? Im just kinda confused i guess ill say on which route i should actually go. If everything works out this will be a street queen and like driven 2 days a week or soo( bc i will have another truck) . No muddin but would like to be able to get on her sometimes instead of being an absolute dog off the line. So which would be a better route for me to go?
Sorry ahead of time im just trying to figure out what i should actually do before i get deployed so i know what im gonna do and whats gonna happen with the truck.
