Yup, I lifted for under $150 with the OME 912 springs, cranked the front T-bars and was done. I have done nothing else to my VX to get the 3"s. In my opinion, the OME 912 springs will give you about 2"s of lift, and then once you go with bigger tires you will gain another inch or so.
Look at this thread for some good photos of what you can do:
