Lead Screw or Linear Motion Source

Our team is looking for a Lead Screw that is atleast 45 inches long. We found one with Grainger, but with the complementary nut and shipping, it comes to almost $100. Anyone know a cheaper source for lead screws of this length?

Also, do y'all have any thoughts on other ways to achieve linear, powered motion? We've considered a linear slide with chain running the length of the slide, but this too is quite expensive.

Any thoughts or help apppreciated!
