So here I am getting ready to drop some coin on a new lift. Replacing my Teraflex 2.5 BB. My front is sagging pretty good and really I could use the uptravel now. I am wanting to get around 2.5 to preferably 3". I have a 2 dr with front and rear bumpers replaced and winch.
Now I have narrowed down my choices to three lifts which all come with most stuff.
The limit for the budget is $1400 max. But the better I do at saving means more money for Disney for the kids.
1st choice (the one I am eyeballing most): Rancho 3" Trail Kit (has linear springs) paired with Rancho 9000 Shocks. Comes with front lower and rear upper control arms, front extended brake lines, front track bar and rear track bar bracket.Around $1450
2nd choice: Rancho sport 3-3.5" Sport Kit (progressive springs) with added Rancho control arm drop bracket and Rancho 9000 shocks. Comes with front extended brake lines, track bar, rear track bar relocation bracket. No disconnects. Around $1300 altogether.
3rd choice: JKS 2.5 JSPEC comes with Fox Adventure series shocks, quick disconnects, track bar, brake line relocation brackets, rear track bar bracket. Add Control arm brackets for around $1300.
4th choice (and last place): Rock Krawler 2.5 Flex (progressive springs). Comes with front extended brake lines, front disconnects, front lower control arms, rear track bar bracket. No bumpstops. Probably reuse mine for the time being. Around $1250 with Bilstein 5100 or $1400 with Fox IPF Performance shocks. I know the issues surrounding their joints which is why I have it last place. If I do go RK I will eventually get all 4 Currie arms and sell the lower fronts to someone.
Whew, ok give me your thoughts or experiences with these products. I really need input. I already have 1 vote for Rancho (thank you WJCO!).
Edit: All these will be upgraded as needed. I have not met anyone who has ran JKS or Rancho so I have 0 experience with their ride or quality.

I am just making sure I am making a solid decision before I kick myself in the ass and feel like I wasted money.
